About Me

Hi everyone!

I was living in a suburb outside of Vancouver, BC working as a fundraiser at a youth homeless shelter but put my notice in to adventure the world for a year starting in September 2017.

A few years ago I did a school with YWAM in the southern United States and volunteered in Cambodia. I fell in love with travelling and have been wanting to take off again ever since. I figured now is as good a time as any.

I want life to be an amazing adventure and I'm doing my best to live it to the fullest every day!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to make new friends and find people to explore with. The idea of picking up my life and travelling across the globe is a bit intimidating. Knowing there are other people out there like me who I will meet makes me feel a whole lot better.

I also have a tendency to get lost and get my self into...well interesting situations. So having someone to trek to the next place with would be awesome!

*I am travelling in Asia for the time being and just started using CS when I left. I am excited to pay it forward and host when I am back in Canada eventually.
