Hi! I'm Christina and I have an insatiable wanderlust! I love making new friends all over the world and am super easygoing and always up for having a fun time! I am currently working and living full time in beautiful Calgary, Canada (come visit if you love the mountains and nature!). I currently am an Energy Trader, which is fun and interesting but also flexible enough to let me frequently go country hopping!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel – because travel is so much more than just the destination. It is about the people you meet (like you hopefully!), and it is about the person you become as a result. I'm pretty new to this, but have attended a couple meetups and am always blown away by how friendly this community is so I want to become a part of it!

Interests

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Kayaking with humpback whales of the east coast of Australia.

Camping on a gorgeous white sand beach on a little Cambodian island and swimming in the bioluminescent waters in the middle of the night.

Running into a HUGE grizzly bear on a hike and actually scaring it off by screaming!

Teach, Learn, Share

I will teach you yoga, violin or piano! I can help you with your math homework too :) I will bake you cookies or other desserts because I have a huge sweet tooth. If you stay with me I can take you out to the mountains for hiking and exploring in the summer, or skiing in the winter!

What I Can Share with Hosts

A super positive attitude, intelligent conversation, awesome travel stories and freshly baked cookies :)
