CURRENT MISSION

To see the world beyond my suburban Canadain upbringing and to learn a little more along the way

ABOUT ME

I am currently working as an au pair in Holland with the goal of meeting new people and experiencing new places. I love to read and have done extensive research on all the places I plan on visiting. I am hoping this site will not only provide the occasional place to crash but also more than the occasional friend to spend time with.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life to experience it as fully as I possibly can I suppose.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am welcoming anyone from the CS2 Project to come on over and see what Bussum is all about. I am also hoping to get to meet new people in new places and experience new cultures first hand.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have meet some great people here in the Netherlands on couchsurfing

I stayed with a lovely couple and an amazing girl who introduced me to Belgium in the short time I was there... and I am already planning my return.

Interests

I like to run, bike, swim, go to the pubs, travel (probably doesn't need to be stated), take pictures (although i am not very good) and spend time with good friends. I love to read just about anything.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing that I think I have done would be swimming with the dolphins in Florida this summer. It was an amazing experince to get to spend time with such amazing creatures.
