Well hello there!

My name's Kari and I am just getting introduced to couch surfing. My friend Emma is a seasoned surfer, her and I traveled around Germany and Iceland July/August of 2014 and we stayed with surfers through her account. I am finally getting around to creating my own account as it's time to pay back into the community for the amazing hospitality of my previous hosts :) It's the only way this works, right? gotta give if you're expecting to take!

I work as a registered nurse, my schedule is random and flexible which means I get great opportunities to travel abroad and to take short get-away's here at home. Would love a chance to show any keen visitors some of what Vancouver has to offer!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

- My hosts in Germany and Iceland were amazing and inspired me to get involved with Couch Surfing .
- This will give me more excuses to get out and explore British Columbia! Road Trips!

If you're looking for previous host's take on me, check out my friend Emma's profile, you'll see comments from our hosts in Germany and Iceland.

音乐、电影和书籍

Too many to list! I love reading and am happy to talk books. My music tastes have mellowed over the years, just this weekend I went to the Squamish Valley Music Festival and had an amazing time chilling out to Mumford and Sons, George Ezra, Brandon Flowers...

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

... this is a tough one! I guess the thing I'm most proud of is that when I was 27 years old I decided I was unsatisfied with my career and went back to university for 4 more years to become a nurse. Proud that I didn't stay in a passionless career despite the great income.

教，学，和分享

not sure what to write here...
If you come by during the winter season, I can give free snowboard lessons! Maybe in turn we can find some surf and you can give me surfing tips?

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

again, not sure what I'm supposed to say here, I'll have to update all this once I've had a chance to get a sense of it all from other profiles... but for now I'll just say that I am respectful and easy to talk to, I'll never leave a mess :)
