About Me

I am 23 years old from a small town in Canada. I have an awesome family and 2 lovely cats!

I grew up with a very active/ outdoor lifestyle: team sports, hiking, swimming, skating, fishing, camping, canoe trips etc. Canadians really try their best to capitalize on their nature which I think is fabulous. Today, I continue to enjoy landscapes and exploring every foot path I can (sometimes even making my own trail).

As I get older, my desire for adventure has expanded past my home borders. Today I am all about seeing new beautiful places around the world. I graduated from McGill University which is a very reputable school in Montreal. Here I studied with the goal of becoming a doctor, but after my 4 years of school I was beginning to feel very burnt out. I needed to take a break from academics and be rejuvenated. My solution to this problem? Backpacking.

Currently I have travelled over 19 countries in 2 years, and it's not over yet. What I've learned during my time travelling however is that meeting locals is the best part- and this is why I entered Couchsurfing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Get. Off. The. Beaten. Path. 👏🏻
Meet locals and see the REAL culture.

With that in mind, I AM NOT ON COUCHSURFING FOR ANYTHING DATING/ SEXUALLY RELATED. This is about people hosting other people and enjoying new company. I WILL NOT TOLERATE any inappropriate behaviour, and expect everyone shows respect to fellow travellers.

I want to see the world in a comfortable, safe and fun space.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Everything you can expect from a Canadian: wisdom, kindness, manners, and laughs all over a cold beer.

I have accumulated a TON of experience from the last two years of travelling. I have a lot of stories and good tips that I'm always happy to share.

I can cook you a tasty dinner. I can show you how to whip-and-nay-nay. I can do the dishes. I can sing while we jam out. I can play any sport or board game you want.
