Just a small town girl, living in not so lonely of a world ;). I'm from a small fishing village in Nova Scotia, Canada (my Dad is a lobster fisherman). I studied unenployable subjects in university for way too long, then took off to teach English in South Korea for two years. I also studied in France for a year during my undergrad. I've been traveling in Asia for a couple of months after finishing my contract in Korea, and very soon I'm headed to Europe for more travels. Not really sure what I'm doing with my life next. Open to suggestions.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

One of my favorite things about travel has been meeting so many kind, interesting, amazing people from all over the world. I'd like to use couch surfing to continue to do so. In hostels, you mainly meet other travelers, but I'd like to try out couch surfing to have more opportunities to meet locals and get some more insight on the culture and things to do that I might not otherwise have. I hope to open up my couch to fellow travelers when I get home. I've experienced the kindness of strangers countless times and I'd like to pay it forward.

Musik, Filme und Bücher

Hard to choose favourite as, but some of my favourites at the moment :

Music: Alt-j, Vance Joy, Ben Howard, Josh Ritter, Of Monsters and Men, I'm a perennial fan of oldies, the kind you'd dance to at a wedding party in Canada ... I just love music in general

Books: Anything by Alice Munro, my biggest influence and inspiration in my own writing

TV shows: Mad Men, Masters of Sex
