CURRENT MISSION

To see and do as much as possible. To be happy.

ABOUT ME

I'm currently finishing up a Fine Arts degree in Newfoundland, Canada. I have zero plans after graduation. I just want to travel. I love animals. I love learning about different cultures, trying new things. I hate it when people won't try something, just because it's new to them! I love being with friends. I love laughing. It's a bonus if I make someone else laugh, too. I love playing around with accents. If I attempt to do an impression of you, it's not 'cause I think you talk weird. Well, it kind of is, but it is a good thing, trust me!
I do enjoy meeting people, although I also come off as very shy/quiet at first. I much prefer to listen. If someone came up to me and said I could have any job in the world, it would be to act. Of course, that is much easier said than done...

I will be going to Essex, England in the winter to finish up school, as that is where my school has a sister campus. But I will have some time for gallavanting around Europe, hence why I joined this site. I want to go everywhere. No word of a lie. Hopefully someone in Europe will let me hang out with them/stay on their couch. That would be wicked!

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe diem.

...I also am a big believer in karma. What goes around comes around.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have yet to have someone stay on my couch. Or sleep on someone else's couch. A friend of mine was hosting a surfer once. She was from Germany, I think...anyways we all went to a local pub/eatery for supper. 'Twas fun.

...Have I mentioned yet that I am going to Europe this winter and am desparate to wander about?? Host me plz.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm still young, plenty of time to see/do amazing things. Hence my mission statement. I did visit the set of Coronation Street when I was five, back when they were allowing people to take tours of the sets. You can't do that anymore. So...if you're a Corrie fan I guess that would be pretty amazing...
