I am a university student at the University of Ottawa currently on exchange for a semester at the University of Bergen, in Norway.
I am a people-person, I love languages, music, hanging out with friends, photography, and learning about and doing improvisational theatre.
I love to travel as I have done some solo traveling and group traveling in Africa, Asia, North America, and Europe.
Some random facts:
-I love hiking but I am scared of heights, and I love traveling but I am scared of flying
-I like snacking (no judgement hahaha)
-The coolest nature pee I have done was in Kenya on a safari near a heard of zebras
-My pet peeve is when people bite their sweater! It's like that "nails on a chalkboard" feeling
-I own a melodica

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I currently am in Bergen and I have an extra bed in my residence so I think it is a good opportunity to host people. As well, I am traveling as I have free time during exchange and am I seizing the opportunity that I am in Europe, closer to traveling to many countries. I would love to meet other international people and students through couch surfing! My first experience being a guest as a couch surfer was incredible and positive. It allowed me to meet people with similar interests, with international backgrounds, and get local advice in order to best explore the given city. I am a believer that people are wonderful and beautiful and it's such a great feeling to share experiences! Looking forward to traveling, learning perspectives, languages, and more!

Teach, Learn, Share

Language, piano, improv, cooking and baking. Let's talk about things we love and want to work on!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share an open mind and good manners while being hosted. As well, I can offer to cook a meal and I am open to any sleeping arrangement, as long as it is not directly shared with the host. I believe it is important to be clear and understanding before and during the couch surfing experience. I am here to meet friendly people and I believe in the freedom and safety especially as a woman couch surfing. If I respect the host I wish to be respected, too!
