Originally from Toronto, Canada and currently on chapter three of my European adventures! I have previously lived in France and the Czech Republic and I am currently living and working in Brussels after completing my master's here last year.

I'm fascinated by what you can learn from meeting new people and forming relationships through travel. So far Europe has sparked my interest the most!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started couchsurfing as a means to meet new people and step away from the familiarity of "conventional" travel. The longer I stay abroad the more I realize how important it is to try to understand people and their perspectives about the world. I think couchsurfing is a perfect vessel to achieve that understanding...as well as trying some local food and drinks ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'd say after skydiving in the Czech Republic, learning to ride a unicycle in Japan. Not sure I can still do it though ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

I have experience instructing Ice Skating and teaching English . I also play piano and would be happy to teach new learners!

I'm currently learning German. I've almost reached "Deutschlish" level but would like to improve! ;)
