Hello!

My name is Christina and I'm originally from Edmonton, Canada. I spent a few years living in Montreal, Canada before moving to Asia to teach English. After two years in Asia, I ended up in Guatemala working on a permaculture farm and fell in love with the work! I'm now living in Bristol, England, taking a year-long course on permaculture. I tend to get itchy feet and want to experience as much of the world as possible in the short time that I have.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am in love with the idea of travellers helping each other out wherever possible. I think it is a great way to get to know the real depths of a city from a local's perspective, and also a fantastic way to connect with new people while travelling.

Interests

Some of my passions are permaculture, yoga, reading, drawing/painting, music (although I'm not particularly musically talented.. I do like a good jam session), and, of course, travelling. I like to cook and enjoy meals with friends. I can enjoy a wild night out, but am also equally happy to just snuggle up on the couch and watch a movie on a Friday night.

Music, Movies, and Books

My tastes vary widely (as do pretty much everyone's, right?)
I'm a sucker for the oldies - motown, folk, classic rock, etc.
I love watching movies and am usually down for anything. I particularly enjoy Wes Anderson, Taranino, and Miyazaki.
Some of the books I've enjoyed most recently are the likes of Lolita and Anna Karenina.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Moved to China on a whim!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a certified yoga instructor and would love to share my practice. I also am always up for learning about new languages, and as an English teacher, I can certainly help you brush up on your English.

What I Can Share with Hosts

As a guest in your home, I'd be willing to help out wherever I was needed. Cleaning, cooking, you name it! Aside from labour, I'd also be keen on sharing some laughs, stories, music, and yoga.
