I am a really energetic and outgoing person travelling Europe on my own for the first time. I teach violin, rock climbing, and cross country ski lessons to children and youth, and love doing those activities myself. :)

I am studying violin in university, as well as completing a minor in Classics (Greek and Roman history, architecture, art, myth, and etc.) The first place I truly travelled as a backpacker was Greece, of course!

In my spare time I read a lot of books, play video games, go hiking and adventuring with friends, and play music gigs.

I play in my province’s symphony orchestra, and in my university’s orchestra. I also play in a piano trio with two of my friends.

Meeting new people and making friends around the world is something I think is really special!! :) If I stay with you and someday you’re interested in visiting my province, you know you’ll have a couch to surf on. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
