I am 24 years old, born in Vancouver, BC and have lived here for the majority of my life. I am currently working retail and teaching ESL in Vancouver. I did my undergrad in International Development and Indigenous studies at Trent University in Ontario. While I am no longer a student I am continuing to self-learn on these subjects. As well, I love traveling and learning new things. I have been fortunate to travel a lot in my life and have had so many wonderful and thought-provoking experiences with people from all over the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am just beginning to familiarize myself with Couchsurfing! I love the idea of sharing spaces and making travelling more accesible to people! Although I have never actually Couchsurfed before, throughout my travels I have stayed with many different people and appreciate the joy in knowing someone local and getting to know somewhere beyond the tourist attractions. Part of my love for traveling is meeting new people, sharing experiences and growing world-wide friendships! I am currently living in Vancouver, and am on Couchsurfing so that I can travel around BC more!

Interests

I love reading, writing, learning (through both academia and life), films and much more! Spending time outdoors and in beautiful natural spaces is super important to me as well. I always try and surround myself with positive and mindful people and love to engage in interesting conversations and meet people from diverse background and with different perspectives
