About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Getting out of your comfort zone

ABOUT ME

I can be a little quiet and shy at first, but once you get to know me I am very outgoing, friendly and love to laugh. I am really relaxed and easy going. For the most part I go with the flow and can have fun doing just about anything.

I was born in Canada but my roots are from India, Germany, Paraguay and England - I love to learn where others are from and more about their background and cultures! I love to travel for these reasons; seeing other cultures and places is the most beautiful thing and makes this world a little bit smaller.

My work background is in Youth Work; my sister and I both are taking a year and a half off to travel.

PHILOSOPHY

Always make the best of all situations and spread good vibes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Couchsurfing has been an incredible way to meet new people and share new experiences. Couchsurfing reminded me how wonderful people are - all around the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far it has been a great way to meet new people who have many similar interests in me. I feel like this site makes the world feel a little smaller and that in a way we are all connected.
