Hey!
My name is Kiyomi and I live in Victoria, BC. I was born and raised on the west coast doing a lot of hiking, fishing and camping so the outdoors are definitely my roots.
Currently I am working with Rugby Canada and in a sports injury clinic as an Athletic Therapist but also work with people with physical and developmental disabilities - very rewarding jobs!
thought I'd share my home with travelers in need of a place to crash and would like to hang with some local folk. I’ve got a comfy spare bed with your name on it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I thought it'd be a cool idea to open up my home to some travellers needing a place to stay. My friend told me about this site and has hosted some really awesome people that I was fortunate enough to meet :) I have always been fond of meeting people from different parts of the world and hearing their stories and I thought this would be a good opportunity to do so!

Interests

I am a big music enthusiast and can appreciate mostly every genre (although Country really isn't my cup of tea).
I enjoy playing volleyball, hiking and cooking.
I consider myself kind of a beer snob and have a taste for delightful craft beer!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I donate blood every chance I get

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to learn more about travelling! I haven't been outside of North America, but have seen a lot of my Country. School has hindered me from travelling too far internationally but I have a travel list of places to go.
I'll share all of my knowledge and expertise on human anatomy and physiology and give you some input on stubborn injuries you're struggling with!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love cooking! All ethnicities but I think I specialize in Indian and Italian :)
I'm very outgoing and love great conversation. I love speaking with people of all different backgrounds and interests so I can learn through casual conversation.
I know a lot of random facts about life that I feel are worth sharing :)
