I'm trying to travel more abroad and in local areas. I'm currently a graduate student studying organizational behaviour. I do research on social relationships in the workplace. I live in the US right now, but I'm from Canada. I cannot resist cute puppies. I also love used bookstores and tea. Traveling has become a serious addiction and I have a lot list of places I'd like to visit :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I travel, I like to experience the places I visit in a way that locals do. I enjoy meeting people in all walks of life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Got on a van with mostly people I didn't know to chase the northern lights when they migrated far south enough to see outside of Toronto.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share hilarious travel stories gone wrong. I can also share about the cultures that I'm familiar with and countries that I've visited.

I'm quite open to discuss many things - art, history, social issues, etc.

I can teach some cool things about psychology, a bit of Mandarin, some Chinese history. I'm open to sharing anything else that comes up too.
