Hi! I'm a Canadian currently figuring things out while travelling the world. I lived in Korea for three years teaching English and then in France for 10+ months working as an au pair. Now I'm back in Canada trying to figure out my next step. I'm pretty easy-going and up for almost anything. I am also extremely sarcastic though it comes out stronger with people I'm more comfortable with.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Before my first solo trip, a friend suggested I sign up as a way to meet people while travelling.

Interests

Of course, I love to travel, see new places, and try new things. I enjoy exploring and being outside. I love to read, though do so more while travelling than when at home working. A few years ago, I picked up knitting as a hobby, and that keeps me rather busy during the winter months. I also love cards and board games of all sorts. Oh, and skiing!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love to read and have set myself the goal of reading 42 books this year (I read 40 last year). I read all sorts of genres from YA to Non-fiction. Of the books I read last year, my favourites were A Thousand Splendid Suns, The Rosie Project, and Oryx and Crake.

I'm far less passionate when it comes to music and movies, though I enjoy both of those things as well!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went bungy jumping in New Zealand at the world's first commercial bungy jump (and unwittingly got my head dunked in the river in the process).
