I graduated from Dalhousie University in Halifax, NS, Canada in 2014 with a BA degree in History and Journalism. I also graduated from University of Oslo in 2016 with a M.Phil in Media and Communications.

I'm really interested in pop culture and why society shares and consumes the media that they do. I love to write, listen to music, watch films and meet new people. And of course I love to travel as it lets me do all of the things listed above!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people and explore new places!

I've always found that when traveling the best way to see places is to meet the locals who know it best :)

The world is a small place and I want to meet as many people as possible.

Interests

History, journalism, current affairs, film, music, pop culture.

I'm really helpful at pub quizzes cause my mind is like a sponge, I remember a lot of seemingly useless information but it comes in handy!
