Student from University of British Columbia currently studying at Wageningen University for an academic exchange. Trying to see the world, ideally from my bike or on foot, but not opposed to a bus or train ride when needed. Happiest when I'm outside, eating good food, or trying a new brew. Love sharing food, checking out gardens, and local markets.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking to get more into bikepacking, but currently, don't have a tent set-up, so just working on the biking part now. I'm hoping a few people wouldn't mind hosting a sweaty biker and maybe showing them round town. I'm a firm believer you don't know a city until you see it with someone who lives there. Love going to live shows and trying out new restaurants and cafes, and they're always better with company. I'd love to host people once I'm back and settled in Vancouver :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Currently trying to make my way through Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, but a little too preoccupied with sociology readings for class. Love most music, but especially folk, folk-rock, indie & anything I can dance or sing along to.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once ran for a really really long time and didn't cry, does that count?

Teach, Learn, Share

Want to talk GMOs? Sustainable Ag? Food Sovereignty? I won't teach but I'll engage in some conversation with you. Always willing to help people with their English (my mom's an English tutor).

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will cook for you, make you laugh with terrible food puns and my goofy sense of humour!
