About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Don't get caught up in the grind of daily life; Travel as often as possible

ABOUT ME

I tend to: get caught up in conversations; drink too much coffee/tea; procrastinate; be sarcastic; have great times with friends; spend too much time cooking; learn random facts from people all the time!

I'm very easy going and get along with everyone I meet. I came over to the UK to do my Masters and got really lucky getting a job right out of it. After two years there, my visa ran out so I had to go back to Canada for a few months while I plotted my way back. And that's how I ended up doing another Masters, but this time in Marketing. Now I work at an EdTech company that gives me the freedom of mostly working where I want - ideal for traveling! I moved up to York from London a couple years ago because my partner got a job at the university here, so I haven't been able to host unfortunately. But definitely interested in meeting up with any couchsurfers passing through the city!

PHILOSOPHY

Shit happens, learn from it and move on.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Back in the day, I used to be able to land triples in figure skating! (That's 3.5 rotations in the air... It's impressive to even myself!)

Sadly, those glory days are over :(
