25 year old woman living in Vancouver. I've always loved traveling, languages and culture. I've been very fortunate to be able to see some of the world!

Recently I have been working in a café but have a passion for helping people and want to pursue counselling. I am a listener. I try to live with empathy and compassion. I am an introvert, but love to push myself to try new and scary things. I almost never say no to an adventure.

I have a passion for sustainability, anti-oppressive politics and feminism. I am always curious to learn new things and question my own beliefs. Part of why I love traveling is to see the world in new ways and get my mind blown by how different people think and live.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think Couchsurfing is a great way to travel. Not only does it make traveling more affordable, but I am able to see things I otherwise wouldn't. I love to go to a new country and experience what locals do, get an authentic and unique experience. I thrive on meeting new people and hearing stories from different walks of life.

I used the site during a road trip in the U.S. and had a great experience, as well as backpacking around Spain and Portugal. I hosted some friends I made through the site recently and it was awesome to exchange both ways.

Interests

I love bike rides, running, camping, hiking, swimming and all nature things! Put me outside and I am a happy person.

You can also find me spending quality friend time, eating just about anything (although trying to eat less animal-based foods), dancing around like a goof, playing my ukulele, doing yoga.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a wide taste of music. Hurray for the Riff Raff, Bomba Estereo, Bahamas, Mac Demarco are my current jams.

I've just started a goal to read books by only women, LGBTQI people, or people of colour! I'm pleasantly surprised with what I've come across :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Waterfall jumping in Bosnia!

Teach, Learn, Share
