Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Live a rich life full of challenges, experiences and discoveries.
ABOUT ME
I'm out going, adventurous, open minded, and love to laugh, have a good time and meet interesting people. I just moved to Victoria for school, so I would like to meet people that add diversity and colour to my life.
I love travelling and learning about places, people and cultures. I also really like the challenge of trying to integrate into different cultures in order to learn about them. I did some travelling and lived in Sweden and Hungary a few years ago. It was a great experience, but my travels have been put on hold for now while I finish school.
PHILOSOPHY
Live each day as if its your last-I know it's corny but you miss out on too much if you don't
Be random and do things you never thought you'd do. They usually turn into great experiences, and they expose another aspect of yourself.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I couchsurfed once in Vienna- it was an awesome experience!
I am not as active in the couchsurfing community as I hope to be one day. For now I am available for meeting for coffee or exploring the city (and surrounding area).
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Couchsurfed in Vienna. It was a great way to see and experience the city and meet really gracious and cool people!
Met some cool girls from Budapest couchsurfing in Uppsala. It was kind of a random encounter but I ended up going to a museum I probably wouldn't have seen otherwise! Awesome!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Skiing in the mountains at Marmot, Jasper. (in Canada) It's absolutely gorgeous, especially at the top of the runs.
Budapest- the market at the castle makes you feel like your back in medieval times!
Traveling up to the arctic in Sweden and staying in a cabin hostel without electricity or running water. From Kiruna we took dog sleds and snowmobiles further away from the city to the camp site.
All of my trips to Sarajevo and throughout Bosnia. I hope to live there one day!
