Hi there! I'm a Canadian female in my late twenties currently living in Australia. I love scuba diving, dancing, music, spending time with friends, reading and good food! I'm a huge dog lover. Therefore, if you have a dog it's a plus!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My main priority is to meet people, but of course I would like to save some money in the pursuit of my own travels. I love getting to know people from around the world and learning about their culture and way of life. I find that when you have a common bond of travelling you tend to meet people you wouldn't necessarily connect with in day-to-day life.

Interests

As mentioned in my summary, I love scuba diving. I obtained my advanced open water in September 2015 and have about 20 dives under my belt so far. I have basic skills in guitar, but would like to improve. I also have a love of language learning that suits my strong desire to travel and live abroad.

I'm an avid tea drinker. David's tea in Canada is my favourite :) Teavana is not bad though :p Anything matcha is amazing. Coffee is also growing on me so you can often find me at a café, likely reading and enjoying a hot beverage. I love trivia and I am usually up for any board game. (Unless you are too aggressive at Monopoly :p)

I love Sushi, Italian, Mexican and Thai food. If you have good food recommendations please share!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love to read :) some examples are All over the Map, The Lost Girls, Eat Pray Love and What I was doing while you were breeding. All travel books of course! I also like anything Dan Brown, the A Song of Ice and Fire books and the Millennium books.

I love international music (Spanish/Latino music is my favourite) and I am always excited to hear new genres. I also love country music and the typical top 40. Some of my favourite artists are Lady Antebellum, Luke Bryan, Thomas Rhett, Florida Georgia Line, Christina Aguilera, Justin Timberlake, Taylor Swift, Juan Magan, Don Omar, Xavier Naidoo, Mumford and Sons and Lumineers.

Some of the movies I have enjoyed over the years are Breakfast at Tiffany's, Grease, Dirty Dancing, Ps I love you, The Notebook, Sweet Home Alabama, The Pelican Brief, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo trilogy (Swedish version), Wedding Crashers, I love you man, Gone in 60 seconds and the Fast and the Furious franchise (heart broken about Paul Walker). Apparently mostly romantic comedies, chick flicks and action movies including cars ;)

My favourite tv shows current and old are Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, Friends, Gossip Girl, Parts Unknown, House, Criminal Minds, the first 3 seasons of True Blood, So you think you can dance and House Hunters International.

Favourite actress: Jennifer Lawrence, Julia Roberts

Favourite actor: Bradley Cooper, Denzel Washington

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm capable of sleeping anywhere. You name it, I've slept there. Train aisles, top of temples, cabs of trucks, in a moving speed boat in a massive storm, airport floors, standing on the back of a Songtaew (dangerous I know), etc

Teach, Learn, Share

My country is large and expensive to travel.. so to be honest I haven't see a lot of it. Hopefully this will change one day! Never-the-less, I can certainly tell you about my province (Ontario) and maybe a bit about Quebec and Alberta. I also love to exchange travel stories and would love to learn about where you are from!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a tidy, outgoing person that also likes her quiet time. I would like to enjoy as much or as little time with you as you like (depending on your schedule!) I'm visiting to see and learn about your city. So tips and local insight are extremely welcome!
