Hi! My name is Christina, and I'm a Canadian from a small-ish city called Saskatoon.

I constantly desire growth, through health, happiness, and novel experiences. I recently started doing pottery, and am an avid climber. I also enjoy doing yoga and some Jiu-Jitsu! I am currently a student in an interdisciplinary program of politics, economics, sustainable development, and international relations. I am deeply passionate about the environment, books and cinema, and local/global issues, as well as a good chocolate.

I deeply value respect and kindness. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. Thank you for reading—I would really enjoy the opportunity to connect with you. x

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love learning stories, and the connection we can form as two people is truly something so beautiful. Having experiences as a local, as opposed to a tourist, is so important.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to help you practice your English (and would love to learn your language)!

I am a lifeguard/swim instructor, certified in Standard First Aid and CPR, and can give you swimming lessons!

I can also play a few instruments (though not proficiently yet!), cook pretty well, and create when I can.

I reeeaaally love language and language exchanges. Would love to learn/improve my French, Spanish, Mandarin, Arabic...!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good conversation over food and drink, willingness to explore together, knowledge of swimming/language/happiness!
