CURRENT MISSION

To lead a life that leaves the world a better place then when I entered

ABOUT ME

Hello! I am a university student studying finance and computer science who loves to travel and meet new people! I am a pretty friendly person who approaches life with energy and positivity. I recently spent two months in South America backpacking and have travelled to Europe and to parts of North America. I am originally from Seattle, but am studying in Vancouver, Canada. I look at life as an adventure and try to make it as exciting as possible! I am always open to new experiences because I believe that every experience, whether good or bad, has something to teach.

I think sometimes people can be a little too scared of life and it causes them to miss out on some amazing things. I don't believe you should never be scared, but I think it should never stop you from doing something you want to do.

PHILOSOPHY

Answer everything with,Why not? This world is so big and full of amazing people, I don't want to miss out on any of it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment I am travelling and would like to meet people in their own countries, but as soon as I am back in Canada I will open up my couch!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This year will mark the beginning of my couchsurfing experience! I can't wait!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked up to Machu Picchu, hiking for 5 days really makes you feel like you earned the experience
