CURRENT MISSION

To prove potatoes can couchsurf

ABOUT ME

I'm a snowboard junkie and would love to ride every hill on the earth. I love travelling and absorbing new and different cultures. Some of the most profound and interesting people I've met traveling. I like to meet unusual and unique people.

I love the human body and want to heal people through massage therapy. I'm a bit of an anatomy nerd. I've recently finished my 3 years of schooling (yay!) and I'm ready for some travelling. I'm an x-gymnast so fitness and health is a big part of my life. I love nature and camping is one of my favourite things to do. There's nothing better than roughing it with a bunch of friends, roasting marshmallows and making campfire jams. Best yet, camping on a beach with surf, heaven.

I also like exploring new cities and finding new bands/music. I love cafes, I'm addicted to coffee!! I also enjoy a cold Becks on a hot day (or cold day) :D

If I were a character from a movie I'd be Sam from Garden State. I'm pretty easy-going and quirky. I appreciate humour.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't take it so seriously, no one makes it out alive.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I'm traveling and have just had a taste of couchsurfing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I have couchsurfed twice, both times in the UK. I stayed with Tom and Matt in Cambridge with my friend Emily. I also stayed a few days with Paul in Edinburgh over Hogmanay which was brilliant. There were a couple other girls couchsurfing at the time and we all hung out lots and terrorized the town :) I really enjoyed spending time with the hosts and other surfers. It was amazing to experience a new place with locals who know all the gems the town has to offer. It's great to not feel like such a tourist too! I look forward to more surfing and also hosting in the near future.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Auditioned for Cirque Du Soleil-didn't make it LOL! The Duomo in Florence is the most beautiful building I have ever seen. And the Matterhorn is the most spectacular mountain.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you the perfect headstand and how to hold your breath for 2+ minutes. I can help you with any musculoskeletal dysfunction too :) I'd like to learn to land a backside 180 and to be a better surfer. I'd like to learn a second language too.
