Hi there! I'm Samantha Matters, although everyone calls me Sam. I am pretty new to Couchsurfing and I am excited to get started and start meeting new people. Currently am living in Iceland although I am originally from Canada. I guess you could say I am on an adventure at the moment!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing because I love the philosophy behind it; connecting through community and kindness while exploring the world, sharing stories, and giving back. What could be better?!

Interests

My passion is nature. I love spending time outdoors, exploring new special places and sharing my own.
I also love sports and fitness. Anything that's active! Baseball, volleyball, skating, going to the gym, you name it.
I grew up riding, and I love horses! Although I don't get to ride much now I'm always looking for a nice long trail ride with anyone who is willing.
