About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel and get to know peeps from around the world :)

ABOUT ME

Hey hey!I just finished teaching high school onboard a tall ship that sails around the world (Class Afloat). We visited 22 countries over the past 10 months, and got to learn a lot about other cultures, the ocean, and ourselves. I am now travelling (and hopefully camping) around North America for the summer, and will be returning to my regular job teaching in Ottawa, Canada, in September.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I currently have no couch, but as soon as I get home I would love to meet up for a coffee or drink with fellow travelers...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have only couchsurfed a few times, in New Orleans USA and in Mexico, but I've indirectly hosted tons of people while living at home with my mom during Uni (she is an avid CS host), so I've had the chance to meet awesome people from all over the place! I've also travelled a lot and stayed with lots of friends of friends, etc., without it being officially couchsurfing.
