About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Wander the world and absorb as many experiences as possible!

ABOUT ME

I want to travel everywhere and anywhere - as long as I can discover something new along the way. I especially enjoy art, good food, and unique cafes! I've been living in Toronto for about a year, but I'm from Vancouver.

PHILOSOPHY

There's something to be learned from everything, and if you're not constantly evolving and challenging yourself, you're missing out.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am fairly new to CS and do not have a couch available, but would like to try surfing for the first time.

Interests

Long distance running, jazz and hip-hop dance, theatre, social justice and international development, coffee, Impressionism and street art, fashion and makeup artistry, English literature, exotic cuisines, and exploring new cities!
