Hi there! My name is Laura Gordon-Mitchell! I am a 19-year-old student currently studying at the University of British Columbia. I love the outdoors and adore hiking, skiing, running and biking. Being active in all ways is a big part of my life. I am also a major foodie (hence why I moved to Vancouver) and spend as much free time as I can baking and cooking. I am vegan and have been for almost three years but I 100% respect the lifestyle everyone individually chooses to live!! Hobbies of mine include photography, writing and again, baking and cooking! I'm pretty much always down for a chill night with beer, wine, and some good bread.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

The primary reason is that in, the summer of 2019, I have decided to travel to Wellington New Zealand to travel and work by myself! I want to experience the culture and the people in the best way that I can and Couchsurfing seems like the absolute perfect opportunity to do so!

Algo increíble que he hecho

I went to India on a school volunteer trip in the summer of 2017 and it was an incredible experience. I volunteered by helping younger kids in their English class, reading books and writing!

Enseña, aprende, comparte

Teach: I have been spending the last four years or so practicing environmentalism and I feel as though I have a vast supply of tips and tricks that can help people learn and practice how to be more environmentally friendly

Learn: I want to learn why people choose the careers that they do and how they ended up in that field! As someone who has a very limited idea about what I want to do with my life, the more I can learn from others the better!

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

My open mind and love for the outdoors; my ability to make a mean cup of coffee and a damn good vegan muffin and my deep appreciation for a glass of white wine at the end of the day!
