I am a sociable Canadian with a love for adventure. I like to travel often and would love to meet up! I have lived in Canada for most of my life (Waterloo, Ontario and Montreal, Quebec) and have recently moved to California for grad school.

I am an avid hiker, cat-lover, backpacker and keen to explore. I also love to party. I'm fluent in English and have a good handle on the French language (lived in Montreal for 4yrs).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I seek the hidden culture that resides in cities. Museums are cool and tours are nice, but I want the small things, the artistic venues, the music, the cafes in the alleyway and to meet the weird bartender who has a signature drink.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have an incredible love for photography. I enjoy teaching people new things or how to use their cameras! I've dabbled in a lot of things, and I'm always excited to have new people to shoot with.
