I am pausing hosting due to Covid-19. I believe we all have a role to play in protecting our communities from the spread of the virus, and that putting travels on hold is a critical part of that. I understand this is difficult because I love to travel and had to cancel a trip myself. It definitely sucks to put off things we have worked hard for, saved money for and have been looking forward to! But, public health comes first. Stay safe and help our communities do the same :)

BEFORE MESSAGING ME/REQUESTING TO STAY WITH ME, PLEASE READ CAREFULLY:
- I will NOT store your luggage, and this is not an appropriate use of CS
-I can only host a few days a month and we get many requests to stay in KL.
- For the limited days I can host, I choose to accept ONLY WOMEN travellers as guests.
-There are far fewer women hosts than men, and I think it's useful to provide this safe space and connection for women travelling solo. That's how I choose to contribute to CS.
-If I can't host you, I might still be able to hangout, get some food or a drink, or explore with you. Just ask!
- I don't accept requests for more than 3 nights
- You should have references on your profile (if you want to get some references, message me and we can hang out and I can leave you one, but I won't host without references)
- Your profile should be complete

**This is not a dating app. I am not interested in advances.**

I am a Canadian living in KL. Hooked on travel since I was a kid. I love seeing all the angles of life through travel! I work in communications, I’m generally a homebody, and I like exploring, hiking, yoga, food (esp Indian lately), live music...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people while travelling and really get to know the places I'm visiting.

Pretty open. Like folksy tunes, classic rock and pop. Lately it’s a lot of Fleetwood Mac, but also Haim and Lady Gaga. Sucker for a good musical.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Moved to Malaysia on a 3-year work contract.

Left my office job to live in a van and travel.

Discovered historic DC in the middle of the night.

Worked on a project in Nepal with girls and women who were freed from slavery.

Interned at a human rights org in Tunisia and lived with a Tunisian family after the Arab Spring.

Ran my own business teaching yoga for 3 years. I once ran a yoga retreat at an incredible jungle lodge in Mexico!

Teach, Learn, Share

Let's share stories from adventures! Happy to share yoga and digital comms knowledge too! Mediocre cooking skills.

What I Can Share with Hosts

As a guest, I will happily provide a bottle of vino or get groceries for us to share a meal :) And if you run a business and need advice on managing online profiles, I can offer my advice on digital communications. I’m a considerate guest and will leave everything as I found it (or cleaner!).
