CURRENT MISSION

Travel for as long as we can sustain it, and then (maybe/hopefully) find some work..!

ABOUT ME

Professionally, I am a graphic designer and Matt is a computer animator (and children's book author/illustrator!)... but we love to make all kinds of art and work on our own little projects.

Here is a short stop-motion animation we made together. Uh, we hope you don't mind a little gross-out gore..!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My friend Janice has been raving about the CS community basically since I've known her, so I thought I'd finally give it a whirl. I've unofficially couch-and-floor-surfed in the past, with some extremely kind and generous people I met while traveling in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Venice and Valencia, and have hosted several friends and friends-of-friends at our old apartment back in Toronto. I'm really excited to be a part of this great community!

My boyfriend Matt and I are planning on traveling through Europe this spring, so we'd love to meet some friendly, like-minded CS people along the way!
