21 year old traveler from Montreal, Canada. Student at McGill University, currently taking the year off to explore more of the world! I have a background in Cinema, Video and Communications from Dawson College in Montreal. If there’s one thing about me is that I adore animals, I volunteer at the local SPCA here in Montreal, this is an animal rescue centre :-) this year I have traveled quite a bit! I volunteered at a farm in Costa Rica for 3 weeks through a program called WOOF. I got to stay with a family on a farm with the most stunning scenery in a small town called Bijagua, in the Alajuela province. I took tons of pictures so maybe I could share that with you if you’d like. The farm was dedicated to growing chocolate but funnily enough I didn’t work with chocolate once! Me and this other girl, Katheryne from Kentucky completed our every day tasks and chores and always fell asleep around 8 pm every day because we were so exhausted! It was a really enriching experience. The most rewarding experience was planting 8 rows of coffee plants in 2 days. It was tough!

Other than that, I visited my very good friend in Chicago for a few days and got to see my favourite band Twin Peaks perform in their hometown. That was really special to me. I stayed with her for a few days and then was supposed to spend the new year in New York but unfortunately Chicago’s freezing cold had me falling sick with acute bronchitis so unfortunately I had to cut my trip short :-(

Not long after that, my father gifted me with a one week trip to Havana, Cuba for my 21st birthday in February. Havana is my favourite day place in the world so that was a real treat for me. I’ve been several times but I could never get bored of it.

The next trip I’m embarking on is a grand tour of the USA. I will be stopping in each and every state starting from Miami. All 48 states will be visited this summer! My final stop will be in New York.

I love connecting with people and experiencing traveling in the most unique way possible. I would love to get to know you and hear about your life stories. I am very clean, respectful, charismatic and curious.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to ask me anything. I am open to sharing my social media and FaceTiming or Skype to confirm my identity.

Looking forward to meeting you,

Geneva :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Just looking to meet people:) I love humans and conversations and stories... they enrich my soul! Also it helps a lot with the whole traveling process... it’s a great way to meet new people and fully immerse myself in the place I’m visiting.
