About Me

Hey there! I am a fun, down to earth traveler. Currently working as an English teacher in a primary school near Barcelona! Unfortunately, I can't host anyone as I live with a host family for the year, but would love to give back and host once I return to Canada :) I've been here since October and have traveled to Lisbon, Denmark, Paris, London, Madrid and many places around Catalonia. I'm vegetarian, into the outdoors, yoga, sports, cooking, art and learning new cultures/hobbies all the time. Look forward to meeting you and sharing some great experiences!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Love of travel, adventure, art, sharing experiences, creating friendships and more. I think that Couchsurfing is a really great idea and would love to make new friends while traveling and learning from locals instead of guide books. I'm a respectful girl and appreciate the couchsurfing philosophy.
