I am a fairly outgoing, welcoming human being! I love meeting new people and hearing their stories. Everyone has a unique story to tell full of brilliant experiences. I just graduated from engineering at the University of British Columbia. I also have a passion for creating positive change in the world. I have been heavily involved with Engineers Without Borders at UBC for the past couple years. I also like being outdoors hiking, swimming, walking, eating, biking .... the list goes on!

PHILOSOPHY

Live life to the fullest.
Dance as if nobody is watching.
Seek the opportunity of every situation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I couchsurfed in Europe for three months in 2013 and it was amazing. When I got back to Vancouver I hosted a few people which was really enjoyable! I now live in Toronto (because I got a new job) and I'm just settling into the new city so I may be able to host people occasionally.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Really great! Have met some amazing people during my travels. (Occasionally I receive creepy messages from guys which is frustrating but I just ignore them.)
