2010: I'm an exchange student from Toronto, Canada studying in Oslo, Norway for the year. I had never heard about couchsurfing until coming to Europe, and once the concept was explained to me, I joined right away. I have always loved the experience of traveling and meeting new people. Sometimes I find life begins to form a bubble. I hate the bubble! There are so many amazing places and people in the world and with each couchsurfing experience I am reminded of that. Always learning, always open.

UPDATE: For the month of June I will be traveling through Europe with my 3 friends before I head back to Canada. Very excited to see new places, do new things, and meet all you crazy beautiful people!

UPDATE II: BACK IN CANADA! Spending the next 2 months in Toronto, and then heading out to Kingston, Ontario to finish my bachelors back at Queen's University. Not hosting new people in Toronto, but will be hosting again in Kingston in September!! Happy Summer everyone!

UPDATE III: "What's the sport of Kings?" "Queen's! Queen's! Queen's!"
I'm back in lovely Kingston, Ontario :)

UPDATE IV: Moved back to Toronto for an indefinite amount of time... currently sharing a 2 bedroom apartment with 2 other people and sleeping on a mattress on the floor, so I am unable to host as of now! Will update when my life is less hectic!

UPDATE V: 2016 restless living in the city; working in downtown Toronto, trying to figure out this thing called "adulthood", looking for new experiences!
