Overview
About Me
I'm easy-going and open minded, I'm really open for new experiences and any chance to grow at something. A few of my hobbies include yoga/meditation, listening to live music, outdoor activities, trying different cuisines, hearing different perspectives about meaningful topics. I'm not a surface level person, I enjoy getting to know someone on a deep level (if possible).
Let's talk about your fears, passions, what you love, society, nature, space, anything!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I could write a story, but I'll keep it semi-short. You know how some people crave ice cream or chocolate? I crave human connection, I am in utter awe of how powerful connection can be with another human being. Some of the best connections I've ever had has been through traveling, meeting people in places you never would've imagined. My traveling style is heavily influenced by experiencing local culture, I want to feel like a local as much as I can wherever I'm traveling through. I feel like Couchsurfing helps immensely with this, you have the help of a local giving you advice, (sometimes) hanging out with you, and for a brief moment you're allowed into their world. This is why I'm on Couchsurfing, I want to experience this.

Teach, Learn, Share
I have some casual experience teaching English and I'd gladly help out my host with their English if they need some help! I backpacked across Europe for 12 months and have some really fun quirky stories. I can share information about Canada and the culture!
What I Can Share with Hosts
Insightful conversations about everything & anything. I love having conversations with all walks of life, hearing different perspectives, stories, you name it. I can offer good vibes and positive energy. I'm a clean person and having experience professionally cleaning -- I can help cleaning and tiding your place! I am not a very good cook but can attempt something LOL. I can invite you for a beer/wine or food :)
