I want to travel the world and experience different cultures. I want to meet new people, make genuine friends and explore what's out there, while taking in as much new knowledge and cultural history as possible.

I'm a pretty easy going girl, always up for adventure and spontaneity. I'm a huge nerd and I love trying new things. :) I love coffee and I'm a self proclaimed street food addict.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet like minded people from around the world and have a unique cultural exchange and experience

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

As far as adventure goes, Skydiving and Bungee Jumping is pretty high on the list.

I finally attended Burning Man last year and it absolutely changed my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always willing to learn about foreign languages & cultures, I love learning!

I am a jack of all trades but travel has heavily influenced my life.
I have a lot of experience in many hospitality industry jobs that include bartending & barista duties.
I have loads customer service and management experience.
I've spent nearly 2 years as a Tour Guide working for a Canadian Backpacking company in Thailand. I've also worked as a Travel agent with Flight Centre so I have a strong attention to detail and high understanding of the industry.
I am TEFL certified and have worked in Language Cafes in Japan as well as tutoring students in a small, privately run English School in Tokyo.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd be happy to Teach English // Polish or volunteer my time helping out with chores or cooking. I love cooking and trying new recipes - please teach me how to make your favourite foods!
