About Me

ABOUT ME

I grew up moving around the world as a child due to my father's career and as a result have developed a passion for travelling. I was a student athlete in university, and am always seeking outdoor sport and activity or just a good adventure during my travels!

PHILOSOPHY

You get out what you put into life!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I originally joined CS to meet locals in some of the countries I was traveling to. I first stayed with a host in South Korea and participate in CS organizes events. I've also stayed with hosts in Europe and met up with couch surfers through a friend of mine who hosts in my hometown of Ottawa to show them what the city has to offer!

Interests

I am interested in all sports... now that I am finished school and competitive athletics, I am interested in any activity and open to new ones as well. My favorite activities include: snowboarding, wakeboarding, surfing, and various team sports.I also enjoy relaxing and socializing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I booked a flight to Washington DC a day before Obama's Presidential Inauguration weekend... was the best spontaneous travel decision I have made!

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to cook and can teach you a few of my favorite dishes... I believe you can learn something about yourself from travelling and learn from the people you meet along the way!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer great travel stories, companionship, a great guacamole recipe and other dishes from around the world that I have learned to cook!
