I am an exchange student from New Zealand, on exchange in Edmonton. I study chemistry and religious studies, but also doing a handful of other obscure and fascinating papers! as a result I’m up to chat about pretty much anything and am so so excited to see and learn about Canada 😊

I’m currently studying at the U of A and looking to meet Canadians as well as people from all over the world. So far I’ve found that spending time in the outdoors is a brilliant way to do that and would love to share some more outdoors experiences with new people.

I’m friendly, excitable and keen to learn, I’m really into empathy, kindness, open mindedness and travelling without leaving too big of an environmental footprint 🌱

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The same reason you are, I’m sure! To meet new people, see new things and have new experiences :)
