i'm an organizer and urban planner from canada! I hosted 2013-2018 and had so many great experiences, met wonderful friends. I love to climb/ski/be outside, but my NYC chapter is something different. I'm finding time here for weird art, great food, architecture, and seeing every inch of the city. I like values-driven people who care about the world and see themselves making a difference.

***I host for 2 nights max*** Requests only within a couple of weeks, please! *** If you don't reference something in my profile I'll reject also. Looking forward to hearing from you!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting people is the best part of travels.. why not have them come to me? Also, seeing others in their own space is the best exposure to a culture you can get.

And couchsurfers are bound to be cooler than the average folk! It's a pleasure to walk into someone's life in the middle of it and have them try and pick you up and show you a little of their routine.

Interests

I'm into bikes, reading, activism, climbing. I go to a lot of fitness classes but I am not a jerk about it. I like movement!

I love people that can show me new ways to look at support and love, and want to get creative about oppression. I'm excited to hear how people see justice and want to understand ways I can better navigate other people's experiences.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I started a social project in Canada, I'm a community organizer, and I listen well.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am happy to bake, chat, and get outside with everyone I meet.

I want to learn more Spanish, and understand how other cultures approach issues I am passionate about.

Let's laugh together and find time out of the house..

What I Can Share with Hosts

Love and the excitement of a traveller! Grace and compassion of the oppressed.
