"Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but foot prints, kill nothing but time."

Hello, world! I have completed 8 years of post secondary education, on my way to a fulfilling career as a naturopathic doctor.
This November 2017 will be my first ever solo trip, and I couldn't be more excited to explore. I love to break out of my comfort zone and challenge myself, because that is where personal growth happens.

If it's something new I've never tried before, I'm a "say yes" kind of gal! I am a forever curious person and like to approach the world with positivity and take everything as a learning opportunity. I love, LOVE to dance, and my favourite thing to do is listen to someone share their passion with me!

Speaking of passion, my two main ones are naturopathic medicine and fitness. I'm thinking of signing up for a 10K run while I'm in Europe... any suggestions?!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I thought this would be an excellent way to connect with locals while saving money. I'm not too big of a fan of the usual "touristy" things to do while traveling - my main goal is to connect with people, create an authentic experience, and get a sense of the community. Housing is a little unstable for me right now, but would definitely return the favour if possible if you are ever in Toronto, Canada.

Please, tell me about you! Your upbringing, your family, your hobbies, your passions, your comfort food at 2AM in the morning... people are so fascinating :) I hope to arrive as strangers, and leave as lifelong friends.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - 90s R&B is my favourite, and I mostly listen to top 40s and hip hop. One of my favourite bands is The Script! Will pretty much listen to anything that I can dance to

Movies - sci-fi, psychological thrillers, Disney movies, comedies, superhero movies, etc - really love watching all kinds, and haven't found one that I disliked yet (with one exception... which I can tell you about when we meet!)

Books - Harry Potter series, anything written by Dan Brown, and a bunch of other randoms I picked up that I can't remember the names of... maybe you can recommend a few? :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went to a volunteer trip with Naturopaths Without Borders February of this year. Powerful experience, amazing organization, permanent place in my heart.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My love for naturopathic medicine and good vibes :) I'm also a fitness instructor (will be happy to share some fitness advice) and although I'm not the best at it, I really enjoy cooking. Dance parties in the kitchen, anyone?!

Above all, kindness.
