CURRENT MISSION

I am seeking a fresh perspective on my world by leaving my comfort zone and meeting similar people from different places

ABOUT ME

My BFFs would say that I am always up to do something fun. That I'm a good listener and that I'm very honest. That I like to laugh and that we make fun of ourselves. That whenever were together, we have great times. They would say that I try to bring out the best in people and can always point out the good qualities in those around me.

PHILOSOPHY

Always live your best self. If you are not presenting the world with your full potential, change something! Happiness is a unique experience and each person needs to find their own path.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My couchsurfing network has only been quite small to date... Friends of friends crashing on my couch or sleeping on a friends floor when passing through a city. I would very much like to broaden my network and my experiences on my travels through Eastern Europe...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My couchsurfing experiences are limited to friends crashing on my couch, or friends of friends needing a place to stay. Definitely looking to broaden my experience, both by hosting when I'm in town and having a place to sleep during my travels!

Interests

I love clothing-- either browsing haute couture online, or digging through my local Value Village for a unique find. I love cooking and hosting dinner parties. Talking with good friends over good food and a glass of wine is probably when I am happiest. For this reason, I also love trying new restaurants and discussing various dishes in detail. Listening to music or going out dancing is always fun for me-- I love being introduced to new music or good movies. Definitely open to new experiences and interesting, new people!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Flying to Copenhagen at the end of summer 2013 to go on a crazy, unplanned adventure by myself. The flight was exhilarating!

Leading a challenging canoe trip in northern Ontario when I was 18 with ten twelve year old girls. The weather was horrible-- it hailed at one point-- but we managed to finish our 12km portage and keep smiling (mostly).
