About Me

Discovering Life's simple pleasures.
ABOUT ME
I'm a Masters student at McGill University, in the department of neurology. I'm also a private tutor for young children; I hope to one day open up a school for children with disabilities.
PHILOSOPHY
"Life is like a coin; you can spend it any way you like, but you can only spend it once."
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I thoroughly enjoy helping others find a temporary home.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I've had a few experiences; one in Spain (spur of the moment couch host who turned out to be just wonderful!) And darling Bailey, who has since been a great part of my life! Sweet Dan was wonderful company, even though it was only for a day.
Never again will I go back to reclusive hotel rooms. I thirst for adventure, and couch surfing definitely quenches my thirst.
Interests
I LOVE music. I've played piano for 11 years. I also have a passion for discovering gems of the world; visiting random little villages and looking at a different kind of beauty. I enjoy entertaining and having a great time, just as well as laying on the couch and thinking of pleasurable memories I have created amidst travelling!
On weekends I try to keep it low key- I hike, play soccer, hang out with friends at local cafes, read books and enjoy the wonderful sun.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I would love to participate in volunteer work across the world, but I am first discovering everything that the world has to offer!
Teach, Learn, Share
I would never want to live my life with regrets.
I feel that backpacking across the world is a great way to discover myself amidst the world and all its chaos. I need room to grow!
