I'm a spontaneous, passionate free spirit looking for any opportunity to travel. Born in Canada but moved to Portugal in March 2020 to experience adventure and living in a new culture, instead I got a global pandemic and got locked in an apartment for several months :) Despite the setbacks, I loved Portugal & the people there so much so that I ended up staying for 2.5 years! It was and still is my biggest adventure to date and I try to get back there as often as possible.

In July 2022 I left Portugal behind and moved to Florida for a job opportunity where I stayed for a 9 month contract running a screenprint & embroidery shop my boss purchased. The experience was crazy and I got to learn a lot in a short time. More than anything, I fell in love with the beaches and have never collected so many seashells in my life.

Now I’m back in Toronto - but only for a short time I predict. I don’t know where I am going next, I never really do but I know it’ll be an adventure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet open-minded people who are easy going and interesting. I want to be immersed in the culture of different countries I'm in and have couchsurfers teach me what a typical day looks like in their life.

Interests

I love adventures. The more spontaneous, the better.
Currently learning how to do pottery and I have a long way to go but I love it so far
