About Me

ABOUT ME
Traveller, wanderer and explorer! Always up for meeting new people in new places and having a blast :D

I've mostly done backpacking around Asia and loved it to bits! I've definitely caught the travel bug and I'm always dreaming up plans to places that I've never been. Next up: 3 week solo-backpacking in Guatemala.

It's up to you to decide, but I'm as friendly as Canadians get and I'll leave your couch better than when I found it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

What better way is there to be immersed in the city other than being with a local?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Recently, seeing thousands of swift birds flying into a cave was incredible. Just the way that the cave is preserved despite tourism and the way that we can coexist with nature is something I found very admirable.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you basic piano (I cant guarantee you'll become Mozart in an hour though)

I can teach you how to tie a figure 8 knot (I'm compiling some links as we speak)

I can teach you how to keep your computer safe from viruses and malware.

I'd love to learn everything and anything that anyone has to share! I think keeping an open mind and learning through others' experiences is definitely a good way to grow as a person :)

This one is gonna be a bit more difficult, but I'm willing to share my food with you?

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer you some awesome conversations, hilarious sense of humor, the stuff I listed under "Teach, Learn, Share" and a pretty smile ;)

Belize, Cambodia, China, Guatemala, Malaysia, Mexico, Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand, United States, Viet Nam
