Hey there CouchSurfing community,

I'm an avid traveler and currently manage the marketing and creative department for a student travel organization. For the past 9 years, in the summer, I lead trips of high school students across various countries.

I currently live in a one bedroom and travel a lot but may have the capacity to host on my couch from time to time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The best part of traveling is the incredible people you meet along the way. The friendships I've formed over the years have deepened my experiences abroad and continue to inspire me to discover the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's really hard to pick one experience as I'm grateful for so many! A few I'm particularly fond of:

- Yoga Teacher Training in the mountains of Nasik, India
- Volunteering at the Elephant Nature Park in Thailand
- Skydiving in Byron Bay, Australia
- Watching the sunrise in South Africa

Teach, Learn, Share

Since receiving my yoga teacher's certification in India, I've taught Hatha and Flow classes in Toronto and love sharing my passion for yoga with others.

I'm hoping to go back to school within the next few years and obtain a Masters in International Development.

I tried learning Mandarin for a semester, it didn't go over too well. Although I've memorized how to say, "I'm very sorry, I didn't mean to hit you with my bike".

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love learning about others and sharing meals. Cooking is such a great way to enjoy someone's company!

If my guest(s) or host(s) feel comfortable enough to let me lead them in a yoga class, that's something I truly enjoy.

Good eats, laughter and warm memories.
