**Will be in Tunisia from Feb 27- March 3 & in Croatia from April 21- May 1 **

CURRENT MISSION
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. Sail away from the safe harbor. Explore. Dream. Discover. ABOUT ME I am a graduate from the University of Ottawa with my two fields of study in Second Language Teaching and Geography. I believe that languages and traveling are the keys to understanding the world around you and to make everyone become closer. I have done so much research within tourism that I probably have a list of things I want to see/do for most places in the world. I have an endless bucket list of what I want to accomplish in my travels. PHILOSOPHY "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. Sail away from the safe harbor. Explore. Dream. Discover" -Mark Twain -Try everything once

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love the community that comes with the concept of Couchsurfing. I think it is an amazing idea!
I feel that everyone should be treated equally on CS (and outside of CS) regardless of gender, race, faith, sexual orientation, political views, etc. To each their own and respect one another. Love makes the world go round.
I have donated because I feel like this is an amazing project that everyone, student or not, would find joy and insight from.I enjoy going to CS meets and parties when I can, as well as hosting people when I have time and space!!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted people in the past before I knew about couchsurfing and I loved showing people my city and helping them out with any questions as well :)
I love the idea of couchsurfing and helping out fellow travellers while meeting tons of friends along the way and exchanging interesting stories and advice for new travels!
My first couchsurfing experiences were in Norway and they gave me the best first impression you could ask for.

-I climbed a glacier and surrounding waterfalls in Iceland.
-I've skated along the world's longest outdoor skating rink in Ottawa!
-I trekked to the Refuge of the Toubkal mountain in Morocco which was 30km return. Extremely difficult for me but a good challenge.
