Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I'm gonna start Travelling in January with my cuz and best friend Mandy. We're 2 Canadians who are looking to have fun and have some crazy adventures!
ABOUT ME
I left Canada in May 2010 with a year long Irish working visa. My best friend Mandy is coming in January and we want to go backpacking for a couple months, then we'll return to Ireland to work for a couple more months. Me and Mandy are both outgoing, laid back people who are always down to try something new and we definately know how to have a good time!
PHILOSOPHY
I go by the saying..your regrets aren't what you did, but what you didn't do!... I like to step out of the box, take risks, and try everything once!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
A big issue with travelling for me is obviously money, staying in hostels is fun the money does add up. Couch surfing a great way to meet lots of new people without putting too much of a dent in your wallet. Lots of people are coming to Canada to travel, therefore when I eventually go home I definately want to return the favor and become a host!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have never actually couchsurfed before, my roomate recently told me about it and it really took my interest. The closest thing I have done to couchsurfing is wwoofing in Ireland. Wwoofing is the world wide orgainization for organic farming. It's basically volunteering to give a helping hand on a farm. I recently got back from a farm and LOVED it. Meeting the family and adjusting to a totally diffent lifesyle was amazing!
