About Me

Hi! I am a 25 yo Canadian who fell in love with traveling, and am seeing the world before I settle into a career.

I quit my job August 2022 and I’ve been travelling the world since. My favourite part of the trip so far has been spending one month sailing with the Royal Navy of Oman in the Gulf. Other than traveling, I also love any other kind of adventure. I'm an amateur skydiver working on my solo certification, and have just started to learn bouldering. Hiking, canoeing, and exploring are all great weekends for me. I drink socially and enjoy bars/festivals. Anything is fair game, be it a new food, activity, or anything else; I may not like it, but I will try anything once. Love meeting new people

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My favourite part about traveling is meeting people and experiencing local cultures. I love hostels too, but in hostels you're generally meeting other travelers - plus cooking is a pain. I spent 3 weeks couchsurfing Europe last year and preferred it to the hostels for the more 'genuine' experiences. I have stayed in touch with most of the people I've met. I've never used a platform like this, but 6 or 7 years ago my friend traveled around USA for 6 months exclusively couchsurfing and absolutely loved it, staying in touch with many people and hosting several back - I am hoping to have an experience like that as well!

Music, Movies, and Books

Fav bands right now: Aerosmith, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Van Halen. I love music, and listen to almost everything. I'm in a big hard rock and metal phase. I don't watch much TV or read many books. Community is my favourite show, with special mention for Breaking Bad and Billions.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking Mount Cinquefoil in Jasper National Park!

Teach, Learn, Share

Happy to talk about almost anything.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would REALLY love to learn Spanish and am happy to teach English in exchange.

Otherwise, I can share good company, a lot of fun stories, a couch if you ever visit a place I'm living, and a lot of information about hiking, Canadian nature, and North American economics.
