CURRENT MISSION

Be really happy everyday, and if not have the guts to change

ABOUT ME

I am taking English and French at University in Ottawa. I like the courses but I a not very driven at the moment because I`m not sure what I want to do. I might go into teaching as I really enjoy kids as long as I can travel too. I really enjoy sports such as biking, rugby, hiking etc. I try to keep them up when I travel. I played rugby in Scotland, I surfed in England and basketball in Switzerland. I did an exchange with my school to Switzerland when I was in gr. 11 and had the travel bug ever since. I have travelled in Europe, Australia, the Caribbean, States, Canada, worked in the UK, and volunteered in Ghana, Africa. I think it is amazing to know so many people around the world and I am in Europe right now revisiting a few. Very easy going, love to meet new people and talk about travelling.

PHILOSOPHY

share. It took me a long time to learn that but nothing is more important than sharing life with friends and family

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am currently moving home. I am driving from BC back to Ontario so I would love to stay with people on the way home!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

YEAH. I just had my first couch surfing experience in Zurich, Switzerland. My sister and I stayed with a local and we had so much fun. The night we arrived we all went to the Canada Finland ice hockey game and it was his first one ever. He was a great tour guide and we had a lot of fun. Definitely appreciated the city a lot more with his help.

Interests

Travelling, I love to talk about the world. Interesting jobs, I think there is so much out there I just haven`t stumbled upon yet. Sports, I love all sports and am starting to appreciate more individualistic activities such as hiking and cycling as it is hard to do team sports while travelling. Family, so important and so fun. Food, I am not much of a cook but I am appreciating spicy food a lot more now.

Music, Movies, and Books

movies:comedy,
music:country, hip hop, hip life, alternative
books:detective, travel
Music is so important, it can change my mood like that. I love to dance and I am always singing. After travelling I am a lot more accepting of different genres.
I like French movies they are always so crazy. Europeans are a lot more open minded and I enjoy the different views on sexuality and life.
I am always reading while I travel. I enjoy John Grisham type detective books as well as travel books. I prefer fiction to non fiction. I love Harry Potter

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Taught grade one at an NGO in Ghana. Challenging but amazing. I lived on the compound for three months and travelled during the weekends. Worked at a St. Christophers hostel in Edinburgh, Newquay and Bruges. The greatest hostel. The staff were always international and right now I am back in Europe visiting friends I used to work with four years ago. Playing rugby, so important to stay active and ruggers are the same around the world
