About Me

CURRENT MISSION:
Meet ALL the people.

ABOUT ME:
I am a small person, which makes it difficult to contain the huge love I have for people in general.
Connecting with people is my favourite part of being alive.
I enjoy things like deep chats in empty train stations and climbing fire escapes at night.
My favourite drink is beer.

PHILOSOPHY:
Each new person you meet makes you a better person - it offers you a new perspective, rounds out who you are, and gives you more understanding for others.
If everyone in the world was a couchsurfer, the world would be pretty amazing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING:
I think community-building is essential for happy living. I love to tell people about couchsurfing, because it makes me so enthusiastic -- I still can't believe there's such an easy way to build community all around the world! Literally every couchsurfer I've ever met has been a wonderful person.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE:
I've hosted and surfed in Switzerland, Canada, and abroad.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I recently did an internship at the Zurich Zoo. It was so much fun - is there anything more beautiful than a baby tiger?

Teach, Learn, Share

Hanging out with fellow surfers is more important than just offering a couch.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cut hair! Have mostly cut guy's hair but can also do simple cuts for gals.
I also love cooking and jamming out, although my skills are humble in both categories.

I have lots of stories to share, but I also love lending an ear to other people's stories. I'm always up for a friendly intellectual debate, especially about gender and social activism.
