I am a regular Canadian girl that has decided to quit her office job and travel the world for a year. I am a quiet, introspective person who loves to explore nature's beauty and meet new people along the way. On this adventure, I hope to discover new friends and learn more about the world.

As I will detail further below, I love hiking, reading novels, writing stories, playing guitar, dancing my worries away, and appreciating life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am trying to travel the world on a very tight budget and I want to meet travelers along the way.
