About Me
CURRENT MISSION
walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart and you'll never walk alone
ABOUT ME
I am currently a student at Queen's University studying Geography and Environmental studies with a raging case of the travel bug. I love meeting new people, and living vicariously through others. i love hearing people's stories (and then pretending that I was there too). I'm still figuring out what exactly my role is on this earth, but trying to figure it out is half the fun :)
PHILOSOPHY
no regrets, just love. Every day i challenge myself to find love in new places, and to learn and grow from my all of my experiences.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I have both hosted and been hosted- and they are both a blast! I <3 couchsurfing! It gives me hope that there is still a chance for humanity.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have met some awesome friends and travel companions through couchsurfing, and have heard some awesome stories! At the very least it is extremely comforting having a friendly face and being around like-minded people.
I have often had couchsurfers thank me for hosting- when in fact I always feel that it is I who should be thanking them- for teaching me something new, or for simply renewing my faith in the good of humanity.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Bungee jumping at a bar in Mexico at 1am. There is no feeling in the world that can compare with the free fall of a bungee jump as you plummet face first towards to the ground and placing all your trust in a cord that is fastened to your ankles with a towel.
Teach, Learn, Share
I know how to french braid? I know a lot about horses, and I'm in geography and environmental studies so I love the earth and know a lot of nerdy facts about it. I'm also a self-proclaimed excellent baker and drink/cocktail making connoisseur
