I'm a backpacker from Ottawa, Ontario, coming all the way from the Great White North. I'm a university graduate in animal behaviour who is having a damn hard time finding my dream job so I've been travelling the world doing volunteer work with animals hoping to beef up my resume and score a paid gig eventually. I was a server/bartender full-time to support my travelling habit and I don't have any immediate plans to go home. I love meeting new people and learning new things so travelling is the perfect opportunity for me to do those things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been on the road for 6 months now living mostly in hostels and I happened upon couch surfing and thought it was such a fun way to meet people and see places in a different light. I love meeting people and having a good time and I can't wait to see some sights and get a more in depth local experience.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I rehabilitated lion cubs in Africa and got to work hands on with them to make sure they were getting all the exercise they needed as they grew up. There is something super amazing about working hands on with such beautiful and powerful animals and getting to know their individual personalities and how they change as they get older.
