Hi, I'm originally from Canada, but have been living in the US for 19 years. I was first in NYC for 11 years, then San Francisco for 7 years and now I’m living in Reno.

I've backpacked and traveled to over 65 countries and I really relate to others who travel to experience new places and cultures. I spend my free time practicing yoga, snowboarding, climbing, mountain biking, hiking, and seeing live music. One of my favorite things is to gather with my international friends for a meal.

I’m a conscious person, practice and teach yoga, meditate and I eat plant-based/vegan.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd love to help give back to the traveling community and provide a bed or couch for those coming through Reno. My conversational French and Spanish is pretty good, and I'd love to practice more.
