ABOUT ME

I'm a student, in every aspect of my life. Of course I'm in school, where I'm learning about plants and how they hold up to their increasingly hostile environment. But I'm also a student in life. I love learning about relationships, and how people interact with each other, their notions about life and love, and everything in between. I love meeting new people, those who share my interests and those who like completely out of this world things that they can then teach me about. I think that we're here to observe everything around us - passively or actively - and should strive to understand what's going on around us and why. I guess that's how I ended up in the sciences!

PHILOSOPHY

Be a whole person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My mom actually first introduced me to Couch Surfing. She hosted a couple of German guys at our house a few years ago who had biked from Seattle, Washington to Thunder Bay, Ontario and were continuing on their way to the East Coast. Since then I've surfed through Sweden with short stops in Denmark and Norway and had an amazing time doing so. I met so many lovely people and can't wait to surf more. For now, I'm looking forward to hosting if the right people pass through Guelph.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have witnessed true kindness. It really does exist out there.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm the kind of person who is very much aware of what I don't know, rather than what I do know. I'm here to learn.
