Hi! I'm a 24 year old Canadian from St. John's, Newfoundland. I'm currently living and working in New York City.

Travelling is my absolute favourite thing in the world and, topping my goals for as long as I can remember. I'm lucky to get the opportunity to travel a lot for work, so my life is always full of my favourite thing, lucky me!

I've lived in a number of countries over the last couple of years since I started travelling constantly, first and foremost being China, it's my home away from home, I've spent more time living in Beijing over the last two years than any other single city. I've also lived for long periods in Thailand, The Philippines and The USA.

I'm a pescatarian and an admitted massive foodie. I love ice cream way too much, drink strong coffee and do a proper job in making it.

I'm moving to London at the end of the year to work, study acting and experience life living in the UK, but in the meantime I'm looking to get the most out of the rest of my time in the United States!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel and meet new people while doing it. Life is all about the experiences you have along the way, and I find the best ones always come from the most unexpected of places.

People are what make a trip memorable so I want to have as many experiences with as many people as possible along the way.

Interests

I'm very artsy, art is my therapy. It gives me the ability to shed all of the worries of life. The things that put me completely in the zone are when I'm making art and when I'm planning a trip. Both for me equal pure bliss.
