I'm Siobhan (pronounced Shiv-orn)! I'm a chilled out, tidy Kiwi / New Zealander living in Montreal, Canada pursuing my Masters in Rehabilitation Sciences (focusing on rehab with COPD clients).

I'm really interested in sociology, I'm a feminist, fitness addict, lover of belly dance, and while I don't watch as much sport as I used to, I love a good game of rugby, football (soccer!) or ice hockey. I love sport and I love the outdoors - kayaking and tramping are my favourites.

I also love art (especially art that's a little on the fringe of normal), and I'm a massive music fan - used to be very into heavy rock and metal, have always loved punk, but now I really love a little bit of everything, although I always tend to be a little more rock-inclined!

We'll get along if you're open-minded, kind, and have a sense of humour!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting new people and sharing new ideas, learning more about other cultures and hopefully brushing up on some of the languages I've learned!
