About Me

Hi! I used to couch surf years ago, across Australasia, and hosted some couch surfers in Drumheller, Canada as well. Then I moved to Vancouver where I had a crap apartment that I couldn't do anything in, and then Toronto where I also couldn't host! Now I'm back in the travel game and would love to re experience all the fun I had couchsurfing before.

I am currently living with a host family in Badalona, so again, can't host. But I would love to meet up with people to share stories and spread kindness! I am clean, can share a few skills (cooking isn't one, but dishes are!) and I'm trying to make the most of my time in Europe.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love this concept and this community! I've been MIA for the last 7 years and I'm happy to be back ☺️

Music, Movies, and Books

I studied both jazz and opera and love everything in between and beyond! I enjoy reading mostly non fiction, historical fiction and books on yogi-esque things. For movies I enjoy dark comedies and documentaries. Not into action or sci-fi.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So many amazing tings! But one funny and unique thing was trying to explain the term "shake it off" to a Guatemalan family I was living with, using my broken Spanish and simple English. This is after we sang the song word for word as I played my ukulele.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach some music, and would love to learn more Spanish and more about you and your life.

What I Can Share with Hosts
