Little lost in life, obsessed with fresh bread, and anxious when not surrounded by mountains, but other than that, I'm just a chill and easygoing girl. You can find me happiest out in nature, especially when swimming in lakes, rivers, or ocean. I tend to be quiet around new people unless I feel comfortable enough to open up and let out my silly inner child. My goal is to learn from all interactions with the world and be a better person every day.

I'm currently on a gap year in Canada trying to discover a different part of the world through travelling and meeting new people, just as well as myself :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe we can learn a lot from one another, and that the best way to travel is to really immerse yourself in the culture through interaction with locals.

Music, Movies, and Books

Depending on my mood, I listen to anything from classical music through indie to K-pop. Some of my favourite musicians are Cavetown and 21 Pilots. Novels are the easiest to read for me, but I won't turn down a good self-help book either. My favourite book is Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver. I'm not a huge movie fan and rarely find time to watch them, but I do enjoy a cozy movie night. Some of my go-to relaxing favorites are Mulan and Pirates of the Caribbean, and I also love films that really make me think.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Heading off on my own to spend a year working and travelling in Canada — choosing adventure and real-world experience over the traditional path of going straight to university.

Teach, Learn, Share

I wouldn't say I'm a pro at anything in particular, but I can teach you all I know from my interests list, or about my culture, and I'm always happy to learn anything new from you :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook, clean, babysit, or help out in any way I can — as long as it doesn’t go against my morals or physical limits 😅
