2020: It's time for me to move on from Ottawa. I am putting my few possessions into storage and have a one-way ticket to BC. I'd like to explore the province to see if there is somewhere/something that inspires me to stay.

2019: Back in Ottawa, Canada after 7 months of travelling abroad. I miss connecting with fellow travellers and adventuring with new friends. I am "between" houses right now, so cannot host. But, please write me if you'd like advice on this beautiful city and/or would like to get together.

2018 - 2019:
I am a caring, compassionate young woman who strives to live every day with mindful grace and a curiosity of self, others and of the world. I have 4 years of experience working in community health, where I have learned how to build and grow developmental relationships with teenagers in supporting them through high school. I have excellent communication skills and a big heart.

2011:
Nice, friendly, outgoing Canadian who loves to travel and have a good time. Living in Ottawa now, working for a wonderful organisation called Katimavik. http://www.katimavik.org/
I live with 11 youth from all over Canada in one house. This can be stressful, (for obvious reasons) but is wildly rewarding.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

2020:
Exploring British Columbia. I'm hoping to meet some new friends and get insight into life out there..

2019:
Travelling on my own around India and on a budget! It would be great to connect with locals (and travellers alike) to make the most of my journey. Looking to connect with my truth, to live my best self.

2018:
I am planning a trip to France in September. I will mostly be living and volunteering on organic farms, through Wwoofing. At times, I would like to explore nearby cities and will likely be looking for a place to stay. I would also be glad for some company, or some local advice, as I will be travelling alone.

2008:
I discovered while living in Osaka, Japan that many people travel to Osaka and need/want a place to stay as well as support in navigating the city. I hosted many couchsurfers there and loved every encounter! Now that I'm home and sharing a house with family... a couch might not always be possible (nor desireable) so lets meet up in town!
