I spent 2.5 years traveling the world and am now settled back at home in Vancouver, BC. Still exploring whenever I can, whether that be at home or abroad!

I have fallen in love with traveling; I really believe that "we only grow from the books we read and the people we meet." I love talking with people who provide me insight into their culture and beliefs, and allow me to share my experiences with them!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking back on all the places I've been, my favourite moments have been spontaneous: staying with locals, sleeping under the stars, missing the last train. They've all led me to the most interesting people and meaningful conversations! I want to meet more people that share the same passions as me!

Interests

I LOVE adventure! I have always traveled alone because I feel that I am more open to spontaneity and adventure.
I love the outdoors: running, hiking, surfing, kayaking, biking, soccer, scuba diving
I am big on politics - I love to learn what is going on in your city, county, province, country and how it plays a role in your day-to-day life. I have a Social History and Political Science degree and am planning on law school.

Annnd I love a good laugh!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love discovering new music; I am into all types and one of the best things about traveling is talking with what other people love and listen to.

Nearly anything stamped with a Sundance accreditation wins a spot in my heart. But I also enjoy a solid Will Ferrel movie.

I just love reading in general - my newest goal is to read as many "classics" as possible - my latest love is Jack Kerouac.
