I live in a 2 bed + den with my cat Dewy. I have a second room with a twin mattress for guests. I work full time as a registered nurse, mostly 8-4 Monday to Friday with a few weekends and some odd call hours.

I am happy to share my place with some kind and adventurous people. I have met lots of good people through couchsurfing and look forward to meeting more. On here for the experience.

There are a lot of local things around my place yoga, breweries, bowling, restaurants, bars, bike trails. The tunneys pasture LRT station is a 10 minute walk away.

I like to drink, chat, play music, explore, play games and most outdoor activities. Depending on my schedule I may or may not be able to host. I can possibly host while working but must be arranged with the right surfer.

Travel the world. Spent 7.5 months in Asia travelling starting in April 2016 in Nepal, spending time in Indonesia, Thailand, Myanmar, Malaysia, Laos and Cambodia. I spent the summer (6 months total) in Australia and loved it.

Traveled through South America in 2015. Backpacked through Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia. It was amazing!

Registered Nurse with a passion for adventure backpacking. I love to travel, I've been through Europe (2012) and Southeast Asia (2013).

PHILOSOPHY

The grass isn't greener on the other side, it's greener where you water it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love couchsurfing. It's one of the best ways to see a city and get a truly local experience. I'm now living back in Ottawa and am happy to host as long as I am not working.

I couch surfed in Milan, Zurich, Munich, Berlin and Paris. Met up with other surfers throughout Southeast Asia and did some sightseeing with friends I made.

I love meeting new people, having fun, partying and playing sports. I want to go on a few camping adventures in the next few months!
