Hello! My name is Smaranda Popescu and although by bio says I’m 21, I’m 19 (Facebook wont let me change it). I was born in Romania but currently reside in Canada. I am currently going to Queens University to fulfill my teaching degree. I am on couch surfing because being a student in Canada is not cheap, and I really cant afford to stay in hotels but I won’t let that stop me from exploring. I live to learn, be it through others, or through finding out the working of this world on my own. I am passionate about working with people and being exposed to diverse backgrounds. I work as a wilderness trip leader. That means that I take groups of youth (ages 13-18) on canoe trips that range from 5 to 14 days. I love a challenge and can’t wait to see what this world brings. I hope you can help me fulfill my dream of travelling the whole world.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

As a student in Canada I can’t afford expensive lodging so couchsurfing permits me to follow my dreams of travelling the world whole without going into more debt.

Музыка, кино и книги

Jazz, classical, alternative, indie and really everything in between! I’m always open to new stuff and often end up loving it. I really enjoy reading philosophical writings in my free time but similarly to my music tastes, I. Always open to new stuff. Favourite authors include; Milan Kundera, Cheryl strayed and Stephen King.

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

I am willing to share and teach everything I know! I am quite experienced in canoeing and camping which includes map reading, cooking and everything in between. I also play the piano, violin and the guitar, all of which I am willing to teach (fun fact: I taught the guitar to at risk youth for six years!). I aspire to be a French and Biology teacher so I would be open to trying my hand in educating in those fields. As for learning, I want to learn everything! Whatever you are willing to teach me, I am willing to learn!
