My name is Arnette. A Canadian living in southern California who got the travel bug late in life. I found this site through my internet research when I was on my 19 month round the world trip and I am hoping to make new friends in new places.

Non cigarette smoker and non drinker but don’t mind if you do. Not a partier but love good conversation over food!

PHILOSOPHY

This moment is all we are promised so live life with no regrets.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I do meet ups to hang out but now looking for a couch to crash on while I consider a move back to Canada.

I love to give any tips and share advice if I can. I don't have a couch to offer myself at the moment because I'm traveling but I love making friends.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Met up with some CSers for food, drinks, and exploring in The Philippines, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Europe. It was super fun!
