ABOUT ME

Canadian girl interning in the Netherlands until mid-April 2012. I study interaction design, and am working at a textile studio. I like gardening, biking, and drinks with friends.

PHILOSOPHY

Three Jewels of the Tao: compassion, moderation, and humility

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm still new to CS -- hoping for good experiences surfing while I'm in the Netherlands so I can host when I'm back in Canada!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The kindness of strangers is truly inspiring - so far everything has been good, and I think as long as good communication continues, I'll still be happy!
