CURRENT MISSION

To treat each person I encounter with dignity and respect; to learn as much as possible from diversity; to experience as much of the world as possible; and to live my life helping others

ABOUT ME

I am a lover of languages and cultures, children, and people. I am a happy, usually enthusiastic person and love talking to people that are different from myself or who know things that I don't.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm not particularly religious but I believe that each person on earth is made by God to make life a little happier and better for others. I believe in seeing the value of each individual human being and the dignity that each person is entitled to.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to meet people when I travel over coffee/drinks/dancing/whatever. I will also definitely host visitors to my part of Canada over coffee or city tour whenever I am there.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been hosted over coffee/drinks by some awesome people in Lima, which has been great to meet local people and learn more about my new home!
