Overview
About Me
I currently live in Hamilton, Ontario. Back in school to finish my degree in political science, working weekends to save and continue to see the world with a backpack and a guitar in hand. Currently looking forward to a trip to Iceland and France
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I was told about CS a couple years back. I have met wonderful people through this community throughout the years, I am hoping I can begin to host in a couple months, for now I have used it to meet fellow travellers and surfing.
