About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See the world through someone else's eyes....Currently playing beach volleyball internationally for Team Canada!

ABOUT ME

I'm currently studying at the University of Toronto in Neuroscience and training full-time with the Canadian National Women's Beach Volleyball Team. I'm very easy-going, hard working and have a deliciously lame sense of humour.

PHILOSOPHY

"Not all those who wander are lost"
I believe I am very free-spirited, open-minded and generally just a lover of life

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Whilst travelling the world to play international volleyball, it can be quite plain to just enter and exit a country without being able to experience the culture, or the people. Why be restricted to the four walls inside a hotel room when you can spend a night in someone else's life...sharing experiences, stories and hopefully a few good laughs :) I love meeting new people and having the pleasure to get a glimpse into their life. I want to gain a better appreciation of the world, the people in it and the opportunities it presents.

Unfortunately I am unable to host anyone right now as I am often travelling and still in school living in different student-housing each year. I would love to host different travellers once I am more settled and have a family to experience it with.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I heard about Couchsurfing from my cousin Lauren who has used this for 5 years travelling through out Europe.
I have yet to surf but will be within the next few weeks! WAHOO!

Interests

I'm really into healthy living, fitness, athletics, yoga, clean eating, veganism, vegetarian cooking, meditation and positive attitudes.
I clearly LOVE beach volleyball, and love doing what I do. I also used to play soccer and dance for over ten years. I'm passionate for the arts, and part-take in any sort of dramatical arts, theatre, acting or performing whenever I can.
I wish I could paint, but nearly failed finger-painting in grade one......however, I'll still consider it an "interest" per say....I'm just not necessarily visually artistic.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Alternative, Indie-Rock, New-Rock, House, EDM, & Classical.
These are just my favourites, however, I love ALL types of music. I'll dance to anything.

Books: I read at least ten books each year. Currently reading the book "Spark" by John Ratey. Just finished Sarah's Key which I highly recommend!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Still have yet to accomplish amazing things...stay tuned.

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy meeting everyone, because there is never someone who can't teach you something.
