About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Me and a couple pals I grew up with are taking a trip to Europe to reconnect and check it out! I'll also be going to the Netherlands to visit my dad's side of the family while I'm there.

ABOUT ME

I'm a 22 year old gal who grew up on a small dairy farm close to Saskatoon, SK. I play in a band called Ellen Froese & the Hot Toddies and we play shows around Saskatchewan and Canada. I'm on couch surfing because I really enjoy the perspective of the locals when I'm travelling, and it's so nice to meet people and connect and share stories. I really love learning new things and I try to stay open minded. I just moved off my dairy farm, where my parents have recently opened a local food store- they sell home raised meat, veggies, eggs, pies, and perogies. I love farm life and it's always good to come home after being on the road, but I'm enjoying my time in Saskatoon now too.

I can supply you with a personal house concert if that's what you're in the mood for! :D I'm good for a board game, chat, or nothing at all. I'm social and enjoy people, but I'm also good at keeping to myself and enjoy downtime while travelling too.

PHILOSOPHY

Take it as it comes and just be nice!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a great way to connect with locals while travelling and get a way better sense of what the city has to offer. I love meeting new people!
