CURRENT MISSION

to surf couches like I was born on a surfboard - in Spain, France, Italy and Greece

ABOUT ME

From Vancouver but going to school in Montreal, studying environmental sciences and English lit. Not that I spend all my time studying - I try to get outside as much as possible.

PHILOSOPHY

Live every moment to its fullest. This quote - "every day I wake up and thank god that I'm blessed, I'm the best in the world so forget all the rest."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've done some couchsurfing and had great experiences in Italy and France. Planning to host people as soon as I can.

Interests

I love most outdoors sports - hiking, biking, and running are at the top of my list. I love listening to music and going to see shows, and if you ever need some new music to listen to I can certainly recommend you something. I'm a bit of a bookworm, I read as much as I possibly can. I'm particularly interested in East African history after having spent a bit of time there.
I'm improving my ability to cook, mostly vegetarian food.
