I am definitely taking my time through life, doing things and spending time with people I really love! I've been a student for a long time, travelling intermittently when I can. Now I'm post-poning being a "grown-up" adult with a job and travelling for as long as I can. Hopefully learning more about our awesome incredibly diverse world, myself, and cool people I meet along the way!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet locals (and whoever else) and get to know the community wherever I am!

Interests

My travel buddy (Brooke) says my interests can be summed up when describing my perfect first date. She describes my perfect first date as in another country, we go for a walk in nature/scenic areas, they bring their dog, and the night ends with amazing food (i will eat just about anything) and beer. Yeeep that pretty much sums me up.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love me some indie alternative rock! But just love music in general and am open to just about anything. Some of my current favorite bands are: Stars, Metric, Queens of the Stone Age, Temper Trap, and Sylvan Esso.

Some books I've read recently are: A Tale for the Time Being, No Man's River (Farley Mowat), and Oryx and Crake (Margaret Atwood). I love reading and am always trying to read more! I would love book suggestions of authors from countries around Asia! (Where I'm currently traveling)

Movies. I will watch pretty much anything, from comedies to heart string pullers!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked up Sigiriya in Sri Lanka, been to an Indian wedding with ~1000 people

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn about other cultures, religions, lifestyles, and travel experiences. I am happy to share all my adventures and everything about my life in Canada!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can entertain, dazzle, and amaze my hosts! Mmm no, definitely not dazzle. But I'm a pretty funny human, who happily (and respectfully) wants to get to know you.
