About Me

My philosophy: Eat well, travel often.

But also to be happy and laugh!

Basically, me right now - "I just want to go on more adventures, be around good energy, connect with people, learn new things and grow".

I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason, and that in life, there is a time to give and a time to receive.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I won't be able to host at the moment as I am on a solo adventure for about a year or two, or ultimately, until I run out of money. I have begun my journey in Canada, and plan to visit the United States, Central and South America. I'm currently on a quest for hosts who will welcome me into their kitchen and share with me the things they love about their city!

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy listening to almost any music really, everything except for heavy metal. I love that music is a way to connect

I rarely have time to watch TV, though my favourite series is 'Girls'.
Watching TED Talks on any and every idea.
Educating myself about ways I can further nourish my mind, body and health through documentaries and books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A semester of Study Abroad in Canada wins, without a doubt. Lifelong friendships, learning and personal growth make it the most unforgettable experience; constantly reminding me that life really does begin at the end of your comfort zone.

Teach, Learn, Share

I do my best to learn something new everyday, to live as simply and naturally as possible, be kind, be myself, share meaningful conversations, be forever curious, minimise my ecological footprint, live in the present moment and give back when I can. I am enthusiastic about learning Spanish so that I can fully immerse myself when I get to Central and South America, to better connect with the locals and other tourists.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love cooking, cleaning and being neat and orderly, but if that's not your thing, I'm sure I can find another way to contribute.

I'm very easily entertained and independant and do not require much in order to make my stay comfortable and enjoyable. Whilst I appreciate the company of hosts I also understand that they too have a life to attend to, so a place to sleep and some local recommendations are enough to satisfy me!
