About Me

I am currently back in Canada finishing my degree at Waterloo and studying the computation side of things. Looking for new opportunities to come!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The main reason that I am using CS is that it seems to be an attractive way of meeting new people from different places. The more I have travelled, the more I have felt that it's the people who enrichen your travelling experiences the most. I don't wish to be labelled as a tourist who only takes beautiful pictures such that I can show off to my followers on Instagram. I hope to connect with local residents and see the places better through their lenses. In return for your generosity and kindness, I would love to see you back in Canada one day.
