About Me

Before I started travelling, I asked myself, “What’s your word?” After thinking for a minute, I realized that my word was a verb—it was an experience! I was working as a beverage assistant manager in a five-star hotel, which seemed like a stable job. However, I decided to quit and travel around the world for a year.

During my journey, I explored Mexico, Cuba, South America, and Australia. I learned a lot, including how to plan long-term travel, what I need to be happy, how to step outside my comfort zone, and how to achieve balance in my life. It was truly worth it. Now, I live in Toronto, Canada, and I am studying tourism management :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
