Hello world! I'm Cayleigh from Canada (it's not as weird as it looks! - pronounced KAY-LEE😋). For awhile I did the "proper" life path, went to school, got a job, had a bf, had a cat, lived in a nice apartment, etc. But my intense curiosity of what else was out there in our big beautiful world and my drive to go and explore it, ultimately prevailed (🙏🙏🙏). As of September 2018, I left everything behind to live my dream of moving abroad and travelling as much as possible :D and honestly it's been pure bliss! What a drug!!

My Travel Philosophy: SEE LESS, FEEL MORE
I enjoy travelling slowly without a plan. I don't need to see everything. I seek a more immersive experience. To meet fascinating people and catch a glimpse of their world through their eyes 👀

Some fun facts about me...

~I am 185cm (6'1) tall
~Seeking sublime natural beauty - I love hiking, camping and climbing things
~My Myers Briggs personality type is ESFJ
~I can solve a Rubik's cube
~I love lights and the different atmospheres they create
~I love learning about the universe
~I love food, my fav foods are Mexican and Greek, but I'll try everything!
~I can't whistle

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it's an amazing community! 🙏
CS is an opportunity to acquire the gateway key to a city 🗝️
Through CS I have met fascinating people and been able to catch a glimpse of their city through their eyes 👀
So many crazy adventures! The thought of travelling without using CS now feels uncomfortable, like I'd be doing myself and my destinations an injustice 😂

Be kind to all, and aim to make everyone you meet, better off for having met you 🤗
Have fun and enjoy your life! 🎉🍻👣🥑🏖️☀️🎲🖌️
