CURRENT MISSION

Find the path less traveled

ABOUT ME

I'm a student studying and living in the Netherlands after having spent most of my life in Canada. I enjoy meeting people from all different parts of the world to find out more about their culture/life/experiences. I usually like to do this over a good meal, i enjoy cooking for other people and can have long talks over a nice drink. I like to get a local experience in the places I visit. I'm always up for a good adventure, anything spontaneous and full of energy is great!!

PHILOSOPHY

Having an experience or seeing a place to which i cannot relate anything i've ever seen or experienced before.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted some people and have been a guest! Both experiences are always fun and you learn so much from the people you meet along the way. If you help someone you can always expect their help in return, even years later!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing has always been a great experience for me. When you come to a home where multiple couch surfers are sleeping it is always a good time. My fondest memory is sitting around a large fire in a farm field with a group of couch surfers, playing music, drinking and sharing stories into the early hours of the morning.
