Hello all. I lived in Montreal, Canada for 5 years studying Anthropology and Biology. I’ve done internships and research in Ghana, Kenya and Tanzania.

After graduating I escaped the city and did seasonal hospitality work in a little Vancouver island surf town and Banff, a ski town in the Canadian Rockies.

I’m finally making good on a Covid-postponed dream and have been solo travelling south east Asia for 6 months.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Connecting with people is my favourite part of travel. Of course you can stay in a hostel anywhere but all my most treasured memories are from having great chats or checking out cool spots with locals.
