About Me

I treasure your local advice and finding the personality of your hometown. I'm Canadian so won't ask to borrow your jacket or surplus sheets, and vegan so I'll love your pets but might eat your potted plants.

I adore cooking with new ingredients, and cleaning up my mess, should you host me I would be honoured to return the favour in my beautiful home province of Nova Scotia!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My best experiences have been unexpected meetings with kind strangers turned friends who showed me the amazing back roads and hidden treasures that I might have completely missed out on otherwise.

Relying on the kindness of friends and strangers has allowed me to see the world. Even if we don't talk much at all, I'll always be so grateful to any host who opens up their home. I couldn't have come so far without you!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love bad media. If you want to watch an incredibly bad movie, it would be my honour to introduce you to the works of some mad geniuses.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I decided I wanted to be a paleontologist when I was five years old but settled on Zoology at 7. I went to university with a goal I've had since I was little, completed two degrees, and traveled to Africa to volunteer with the kids and animals I've wanted to meet since childhood. I made a dream come true which showed me it was possible!

Teach, Learn, Share

Folk songs, travel photography
