I'm Canadian, grew up in Switzerland, moved to Scotland to study and now decided to stay here at least a little longer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet great people, learn about other cultures and to learn new things. To see places out of the perspective of locals.
I have limited hosting possibilities at the moment (student flat) but I'm very happy to meet up with people and show them around if I have time.

Interests

I used to do biathlon and orienteering competitively, since moving to Scotland I've taken up cycling and triathlon.
I have been a scout since I was little and am now a leader.
I love being outdoors, camping, doing all kinds of sports and travelling.
I also like to draw, paint, read and write.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- In June 2021 I cycled most of the NC500 with a friend, fully self supported, carrying everything and living in a tent for 12 days, running, hiking, rock climbing, surfing, wild swimming and touristing along the way. Two young girls with very budget bike set-ups, carrying backpacks and tieing things to the bike. Had the absolute time of my life.
- In 2022 I cycled the full Hebridian Way with a few detours and a slightly better setup. Despite some rather awful weather I absolutely loved it and am planning to take the bike a bit further afield next year.
- In 2017 I organised a charity run all by myself without spending any money to raise 1000 pounds for critically endangered porpoises in Mexico.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can tell you about my home (Switzerland) and a some stories about my new home (Scotland) and everything else I know anything about(bikes, navigation, hills, renewable energy to name a few). I'm happy to help out with things you need to do too (cooking, garden, etc).
If we get along (I sure hope so), I'll be happy to host you in return if you ever want to visit.
