About Me

I am in a gap year so I can't host u right now.

Travel, travel, travel
I am someone who loves to travel, be outdoors, and interact with a variety of people. I grew up on a farm, and love spending time at my cottage - where I tend to be in the water more often than I am on dry land.

I began traveling when I was 14, and I haven't looked back! I consider myself extremely fortunate to have been able to visit all the places I've been, and I know that every trip wouldn't have been the same without the help from kind strangers along the way. Friendly advice, improvised maps, cups of tea, and places to stay...I feel that traveling is when you get to see the best in people.

PHILOSOPHY

Be kind to everyone, especially in those moments when it seems hard to do.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couch surfing to share a little bit of my life with other people.

hosting travellers is a little bit like travelling itself and it is enriching.

being hosted by people in their natural surroundings is the best way to enjoy a new place.

Interests

I love to cook, and thus, I love to eat.
I love to read but cannot seem to do enough of it.
I run for exercise and sometimes I love it.
I love to meet new people and I enjoy learning through them.
I love to travel, to experience new places and cultures, I simply need to do more of it.
I love to dance, whether it be a club or in a dance studio taking salsa lessons.
I love music, both playing and listening. I love my didgeridoo . :)
I love Fests, wherever.
I feel strongly about all social justice issues, but my passion and my work lie mainly around food security and food sovereignty.

Music, Movies, and Books

My musical interests are all over the place.
Some movies/docs in no particular order that I really enjoyed are: Garden State, Lost in Translation, Rushmore, The Squid and the Whale, DF3, How to Cook Your Life, Up in the Air.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Everyday something or someone makes an impression on me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know my way around the kitchen pretty well, and have a number of tips and tricks I can suggest, and always enjoy teaching/having help in the kitchen.

What I Can Share with Hosts

When I'm traveling abroad, my interest in couchsurfing is primarily to meet local people and not to save money on accommodations. If you put me up for a couple nights, I am sure we will become friends for life! I am eager to share a few laughs, or teach you some English/French (working on it).
