CURRENT MISSION

Re-explore Calgary, meet new people, plan future travels!

ABOUT ME

I'm from Calgary originally but have just moved back here in 2015, after travelling and living abroad for several years.
I'm looking to settle a bit for now, make some connections here but I always want to stay in touch with the travel community. My next trips will focus on exploring Canada all over again, it's been too long!
I love languages, I speak English, French and a bit of Japanese, Spanish and German and would love to practice with you. I absolutely love exploring new places and cultures. I believe in talking WITH people not at them.

PHILOSOPHY

An open mind and no expectations (but lots of hopes and wishes!) are the key to enjoying life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've surfed a few times, been to a few events. I would love to host one day, unfortunately so far I haven't found a living situation where I can do that. It's only a matter of time!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Very little, since I'm quite disorganised, but my few experiences have been great!! I love how welcoming and trusting people are, and strangers become friends so easily!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

got lost on mountains, watched men fighting burning bamboo in a local festival, communicated through only gestures and noises when I couldn't speak the language, jumped off cliffs, climbed down waterfalls, pet a few tigers, a koala, a wombat, rode a motorbike through the mountains, camped deserted beaches...
how can I list them all! Travel is always amazing :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Never assume! Everyone has their story.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Travel stories, a new perspective, sage advice on various life complexities...I can sew, help out in the garden, drive manual on either side of the road and I'm always keen to be helpful!
I can't cook much but I am a skilled microwaver.
