About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Do things that scare me

ABOUT ME

Taking a year off of "real life" and working to survive and travelling in the spare time I have. When I can't afford to travel, I love to host and live vicariously ; ) lol.

So come visit me :)!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too short, always chase after your dreams.

Food tastes better outdoors.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Only positive experiences. In Europe and the US I've surfed quite a bit and encountered many amazing people along the way. : ) Now that I'm back in Vancouver, I would love to give back to the community soon! So come visit!

Interests

As this is a travelling and cultural exchange site.. it goes without saying that I am very interested in travelling.

With that said... I love taking photos when I am travelling. Reading. Laughing. Good food in good company.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seen the sun rise in Japan.
Seen the sun rise in Ibiza.

Got to copilot a Cessna172 plane. I love the feeling when you are up in the sky, you literally get a different perspective of the world. : )

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn about other cultures and little quirks that make each of us unique and interesting.

Questions about cellular and molecular neuroscience? Just ask ; )!
