Canadian girl from Toronto, traveling and collecting memories/people along the way. I am a translator and work to finance my travels and experience as much as I can in our short time on this planet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hosted lots of folks in my house in Chiloe, Chile and met so many incredible people through couchsurfing while I was traveling through South America in 2017. Couch surfing was such an integral part of my trip and I've been very involved in the community since then whenever I can. I wouldn't trade the weird and wonderful experiences I had for anything.

Interests

I'm fluent in French, Spanish, and English and love nothing more than having a good conversation with an absolute stranger. I used to have a small bakery business, so I love baking bread for my friends and cooking up a storm of new and weird recipes! I am also a stand up comedian and storyteller on the side, and will likely ask you to tell me a good story within the first few hours of meeting you ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Stand up comedy. Some shows were amazing, some were... not so amazing. Guess which shows were my favourite?

I also spent 4 months in Namibia working for the Ministry of Justice, and one month running my own small bakery during the pandemic. I'm a woman of contrasts, always on the lookout for inspiration and beauty where I can find it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you to bake bread and to speak English, French or Spanish. Teach me something new in exchange, or beat me in the sport of your choice!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I really believe that you get what you give to people, and I try to be as generous with others as I can. I have had a bunch of people stay with me in Chiloe and have always had great experiences with new people, so I suppose what I can offer is an open mind, a genuine interest in people and a total willing-ness to make breakfast or be the designated dishwasher.
