I'm a 19 year old student from rainy Vancouver (home is where the rain boots are)!

I have a love for history and languages, and an abiding fondness for tasty eats. I'm also an artist and a writer, so you can generally expect to see me scribbling something or another down...if I'm not already busy scarfing down a snack, that is.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Starting in Febraury 2015, I'll be in Switzerland (Lausanne) for an exchange term to improve my French! In the summer, I'll be traveling Europe for the first time and would love to have some couches to crash on then. I also think that speaking and interacting with locals is the best way to learn to appreciate a city.

I hope we get to meet and share stories!
