*I need to update this! Right now I'm exploring Nova Scotia for a week. Hangouts possible and welcomed.*

I moved to Montreal a couple years ago. I would like to travel along the Gaspésie again and spend some time learning about the places and the people who live there while also improving my French. I visited briefly a few years ago. I am also up for hosting on occasion when it doesn't stress out my roommate!

I've been travelling a lot the last few years, exploring a big chunk of North and South America. I learned about different cultures, language, farming, food waste, hitchhiking, living in a van, how awesome the world can be, and the limits of my social energy!

I like to work on organic farms and am into growing food and air-filtering plants.

I pet cats when I travel (www.jesspetscats.com) though I haven't updated my site in a while.

I am vegetarian - people ask this a lot so I thought I'd add it here. Now you know!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Sometimes I crash on people's couches, sometimes they crash on mine, and often I follow other couchsurfers on spontaneous adventures. This site has lead me to experience lots of new perspectives, amazing stories, and crazy good times. It's also been a reminder of just how wonderful and generous the world can be if you open yourself to it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Having the beaches of Ios to ourselves, hanging out with wild cats, and being the start of a spontaneous party when we thought we were the only visitors on the island.

What I Can Share with Hosts

J'aimerais apprendre plus de français.

I'm happy to share anything you want to know about Vancouver, Montreal, or any of North or South America really.

I love talking about why we're here and what we're doing with it. I like discussing different perspectives on the world.

I can teach you English, a bit of French or Spanish, ukulele, bass, hula hooping tricks, and cooking (but I'm not an expert in any of these! Maybe speaking English); tell you about growing veggies, travelling solo, hitchhiking, backpacking, or anything else from my 32 years of wisdom. If you ask, I'll share.
