About Me

Im a university student who just graduated and want to spend the next little while before I go on to do another degree. Im a huge outdoor fanatic, hiking, camping, canoeing, swimming etc. In the summer I plant trees! Im easy going laid back and very clean.
I come from a big family on the east coast of Canada. Grew up doing construction and labor work. I love working with people with disabilities, children and adults. I worked at a summer camp for 3 summers in New Brunswick and 2 summers in Alberta for adults and kids with mental and physical disabilities. So a lot of really amazing, heart wrenching and hilarious stories from both these experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Ive heard lots of good things from others who used it and I love meeting new people, getting to know locals to help me out my travels sounds ideal:) And hopefully make some great connections and friendships along the way.

Music, Movies, and Books

Unfortunately I dont have favourites, Im too indecisive, but definitely go through phases! Currently really into historical classics novels, just finished the Iliad.
I enjoy any type of music really, I have the guilty pleasure of enjoying some classic country music from time to time. But usually Im a big fan of chill/upbeat folk and indie music.
The child in me always enjoys Disney movies, definitely the biggest love of my life singing along to the classic Disney songs. Apart from disney I am a big fan of movies that get your brain thinking, some kind of mystery of alternative movie where the plot line gets you mind ticking.
also game of thrones Friends and a huge fan of documentaries of all types!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Tree planting. No words can describe this incredibly amazing and absolutely difficult summer job! Best to describe in person haha
- working with adults and children with disabilities for 4 months straight, secluded in the mountains
- Flew a plane, (even though in not a pilot...)

Teach, Learn, Share

Im always down to learn another language:)
I can teach headstands/handstands, card games, cool knot ties, possibly some choreographed dance moves to whip out at the clubs haha

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can always share a laugh and good conversation :) I can share respectful space of your home and adapt to what ever way you’re living. I enjoy conversation and I am quite independent and self occupied so not needing to be emtertained in any way but also love company and meeting new people and very friendly and authentic. I can do dishes and house sit or animal sit if needed. I also love cooking and sharing food!
