About Me

Hello!!

I'm an graduate student from Mississauga, Canada. I started using CS in 2015 and completely fell in love with the concept of meeting new people and being able to live in their shoes for a bit. My first couchsurfing experience was in Japan and I ended up meeting my host again that year for a bikepacking adventure in Canada's Rocky Mountains!

I have never really hosted before but depending on my roommates, you're more than welcome to pop by :)

I'm usually​ solo so I'm looking for people to enjoy nature with me! I'd love to explore your national parks and conservation areas together.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe in the goodness of people and to me, couchsurfing is the epitome of trust, kindness, generosity and being a global citizen. Also, I want to open my thought boundaries by meeting and learning from you.

Interests

I love watermelons, running/walking, oatmeal, my toothbrush, sunny days, vegetables, making lists, clean socks, napping outside and trying new things to push my limits.

Happiest outdoors and always ready for everything!

  • yoga
  • cycling
  • hiking
  • agriculture
  • mountains
  • nature
  • sustainability
  • recycling
  • everything!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walking a segment of the E5 in 5 days from Oberstdorf, Germany to Meran, Italy - I started without even a map but met so many lovely people along the way who did have maps!

Going up all the steps on Mount Emei for sunrise above the clouds.

Meeting the cutest little grandpa who got stood up by his online date at a falafel shop - apparently she lost her tooth! He took my hand and we strolled around Paris for the evening instead. Best date ever.

The sunshine and swims in Croatia.

Eating excessive amounts of roti with mango daiquiri and the shockingly flashy buses of Sri Lanka.

Finding a stray pup while I was working in Shanghai and taking him back to Canada with me.

I love it all!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am interested in everything (or maybe I'm just not sure what I like yet). There are many many many things I don't know about. I will try my best to pick up local languages but your patience will definitely be needed. Would also love to learn the art of simple living / happiness. I want to be inspired and I hope to inspire one day as well. I will always share as much as possible.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Honesty, respect, friendship. I also like doing laundry and will fold your clothes nicely.
