I am a small town girl from Ontario. I am very active: I play sports, horseback ride, ski, hike and like to go on long walks. I love exploring new cities or towns, taking in the sites, and learning about cultures and people. I think others would describe me as very positive, outgoing, open minded, and friendly. They would also probably comment on my infectious laugh (its loud). I love my job, I have spent the last few years starting my own real estate business. I also love to volunteer, I am passionate about helping others in any way that I can. Right now I am pursuing a more balanced life between work and leisure. My favorite thing to do are boat, eat, drink wine, and be in good company. I am all about positive vibes, good karma, happy and fulfilling conversations, and learning as much as I can about our beautiful world and everyone that lives on it :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Primarily to meet new people, it is a great way to connect. Also to have new experiences, gain local insight to restaurants and attractions, and make friends while going on adventures and out on the town.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
Almost all genres; however I mostly listen to country music, old school rock (Tom Petty, Don Henley, Fleetwood Mac, etc), rap and a bit of house. Depending on the setting! Going to music festivals and concerts is one of my favorite things to do.

Movies:
I lack cinematic knowledge, I am often teased for it! I would say I love funny movies and older movies such as Breakfast at Tiffany's. I more so focus on watching documentaries, I try to spend my down time learning!

Books:
Anything Margaret Atwood
