I am a Canadian girl who loves exploring the world, laughing, adventure, and meeting interesting people.

I’ve been lucky enough to build a business that gives me flexibility to work remotely and have a flexible schedule, so I have freedom to live life on my terms.

I’m based out of Victoria, BC (Canada) and live with my Mini Australian Shepard (Blue). We spend a lot of time hiking, going to walk by the ocean, and relaxing with a good cup of coffee and a book at home.

**Please surfers do not send me a couch request more than 2 weeks in advance as I like to keep my plans open as much as possible & I do not host men without references, so please do not send a request if you have no references.**

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I am only occasionally able to host, but love to pay it forward when I can. I find that I connect better with couchsurfers than the average person.. it makes me feel whole!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I tried out couchsurfing for the first time in May of 2014 in Hawaii and could not have had a better experience! My hosts were welcoming and showed me all of the local secret spots I was hoping to see, and I even met a lot of their really awesome friends who kept me company on my travels.

Since then, I because I’m often working from my laptop while traveling, I use couch surfing more often to meetup than to stay with hosts, but I still love meeting CS’ers everywhere I go.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share: Laughs, stories, good times, healthy cooking, and a bit of Canadian culture, eh !
I can teach: I have been a personal trainer for almost 20 years and now run a successful online health & fitness coaching business that works with women exclusively. I have a ton of background in injury management, strength training, and nutrition and am happy to share some of my knowledge for your own health journey if that helps you!
I love to learn about: languages, cooking, philosophy, human behavior/psychology, space.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my fitness and healthy lifestyle knowledge, laughter, listening to and sharing crazy travel stories, good vibes, culture, food. I love cooking and am also great with animals if you need help with your pets (walking, feeding, giving them company). I stayed in Paris to cat-sit for a CS host without ever meeting her and it worked really well!
