About Me

ABOUT ME

I come from Vancouver, the great west coast where lies an abundance of mountains and water, and endless opportunities to practice outdoor sports!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

CS is an amazing tool to meet cool people and share adventures. IT's quite a unique experience to meet people and different places to share interests and travel adventures. I've become increasingly connected to people around the world and lasting friendships are the best things that come out of this.

Interests

I'm currently doing a Masters program in Clean energy so I'm also interested in environmental policies and renewable energy systems. I am also passionate about food and drink: the culture behind it, making different cuisine and devouring it :) I am a very active person and I find solace doing sports solo or in groups in trail running, hiking mountains and different landscapes around the world, water sports, skiing, and trying out new sports like paragliding, rafting, and sailing. I also like to compete in running, swimming, biking (I've dabbled in triathlon).

Wine tasting bike rides, cherry/strawberry picking, cooking, drinking beer after long hikes, country music, lazing in the sun, jumping off 5m diving boards in the pool, listening to music while biking (althought it's dangerous), watching old classic movies, eating sushi, drinking tea, open water swimming, paddle boarding, snorkeling, cats, renewable energy
