About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to see the world, but I am in no hurry! I stayed in France for 8 months and since then have been travelling around Canada finding new opportunities to keep seeing new places, experiencing new cultures, and meeting new people.

ABOUT ME

I am 22 years old and I am passionate about language, culture, travel and education. I plan to travel teaching English and French and learning other languages in the process. Eventually I hope to help improve the education system wherever I end up settling down. I plan to experience what I can and then give back to those who can't.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have only had one experience with couch surfing while in France. I needed a place to stay for a couple nights while in transit to where I was to work for 6 months and I was taken in by a couch surfing host who was generous enough to give me a place to stay and some guidance in a new country where I was lost in the language, culture and in the geography.

Music, Movies, and Books

It is always too difficult to name a few artists, a few movies or a few books
that I like in particular because I would say my taste is rather eclectic.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to Tijuanna, Mexico to build houses and that put everything in perspective for me.

Teach, Learn, Share

Once I get to know someone and what they are interested in it becomes much easier to "teach, learn, and share"
