About Me

I work in downtown Toronto in molecular diagnostics, love eating pho, and reading. My husband and I bought our first home in Brantford, ON. How many people want to come to Brantford?! Hopefully you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Traveling is expensive, couchsurfing is one way to allow more people to travel without having to sell organs.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted before, but haven't yet had the opportunity to surf myself.

Interests

Scary movies, good books, pretending I'm going to start exercising and then instead eating cupcakes, cupcakes.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Anything and everything! I especially love classical music
Movies: All you really need to know is that I can't get enough of terrible horror movies, they are my absolute favourite.
Books: I'm a huge sucker for biographies. To name a few: "The Places In Between" (Rory Stewart), "Three Cups of Tea" (Greg Mortenson), "Infidel" (Ayaan Hirsi Ali), etc. And, as per the usual horror interest, I love all things Stephen King :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have participated in the initiation ceremony of 7 new Buddhist monks in Cambodia. We lived with a Buddhist monk named Sareth for one week out in his village and had an amazing time teaching English at the school that he built.
