ABOUT ME:

I've worked in cancer research for over 5 years, mental health research for 3 years and am now planning travel South America and volunteer in Europe with my partner! I have travelled lots of places and met incredible people, while making amazing couchsurfing friends. I like hiking, adventure, travel, cooking & eating, exploring new cultures, reading, learning, and languages.

ABOUT US

My partner (Jeff) and I are travelling Latin America and South America together from April 2024 - July 2024. Following that we are heading to Europe to see Lofoten Islands in Norway and volunteer in refugee camps in Greece for 2 months.

PHILOSOPHY

Honestly, just be kind.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm on couchsurfing to find a community of people, whether it be locally or internationally, that can share their world with my world. That I can learn from and at the same time teach, listen to and engage with mindfully, in an open, humble way.

Teach, Learn, Share

All kinds of people. I love the philosophy of this site, that everyone is a student and everyone is a teacher. Everyone's got a story to tell with the ability to impact the way you think.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Great conversations, a meal, sharing my life and hearing yours. I love meeting new people and learning about who they are and why they are the way they are and so I'm always open for hours of conversation if time allows :)
