These are always so difficult to fill out, but here are some basics...

I'm a Canadian girl from Vancouver but currently living in Lyon, France as an English language assistant at a local high school!

I consider myself a very happy person. I love to laugh (who doesn't?) and crack jokes. I'm open minded, always down for fun and am an exclamation mark enthusiast!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To be honest, I'm new to the Couchsurfing game. but I can tell you I have great reviews so far from airbnb! :)

I really want to get into this lovely community of CS-ers. The good vibes I hear from some of my friends are so inspiring. I absolutely love hearing people's stories because I just genuinely find lives so interesting. So hopefully we can get some positive experiences going here!

Interests

I am very simple. I like to walk around a city with a baked good in hand.

Oh okay and yeah I like the heart-pumping adrenaline stuff too like snowboarding, hiking and attempting to stay afloat in the ocean.

I like seeing the contrast of a city in the early morning and its nighttime. So a pastry during the day and some local beer or wine at night is the perfect combo for me!

But seriously. Good pastries. Good people. Happy me!
