About Me

FYI: I am not 21, I am 30! It wont let me change my age

I quit my job in Canada & sold all my stuff to travel Europe. I live in Glasgow Scotland and I have made it the base for my travels. I love meeting new people and learning about different cultures. I'm not looking for a free ride, I'm quite happy to pay for a room when travelling but the experience is always better when you can make friends & stay with locals.

I recently got married and can’t wait to start couch surfing with my Scottish husband. When we first met, he thought I was crazy for couch surfing. But after he met some of my wonderful friends who hosted me in the past, now he is a believer & is excited to try it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travelling is always better when you are with locals. Im interested in people, to see how they live & learn about what we all have in common despite having different backgrounds. I'm here to meet people from all over the world and experience different cultures. The best times I've had during my travels were always when I was couch surfing.
