About Me

ABOUT ME

I've moved around quite a bit on the East Coast of Canada; spending most of my life in Newfoundland and Nova Scotia. I've been living in Montreal, Quebec for the last two years. I'll be travelling on the West Coast of Canada/US this summer before moving to Scotland to pursue my PhD in Social Policy, and travelling around Europe along the way. I love my family and friends; they think I'm pretty silly.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new to couchsurfing and haven't travelled very much. I often travel with a close friend and usually we are happy to entertain ourselves. I would say I'm an easy-going and independent traveller. That said, I'm looking forward to staying with great people; getting recommendations on activities to check out; and hopefully meeting and hanging out with awesome people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new to couchsurfing but I've always stayed with friends or friends of friends when travelling; I'll be couchsurfing via couchsurfing for the first time soon and I'm excited for future experiences.
