About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel, learn, experience everything I can. Overcome my fears. Carpe diem!

ABOUT ME

I love to travel, I'm curious, quick to smile, like to learn new things (bit about everything is nice), have a pretty good memory, love to sing but don't like to perform, like being outside doing things rather than inside, love to laugh, like meeting new people, and enjoy getting together with my brother and sister.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hope to host people around the city, on my couch and help them have a fantastic experience in Vancouver. Making some new friends from all over the world would be awesome and staying involved in a community of travellers, especially when I'm not the one with the pack on my back, will help tide me over until it's my turn to catch a plane again.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couch surfed in Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii, and Canada as well as hosted people from Scotland, England, Australia, Canada, USA, France, and Denmark but none of this was done with CS. Always had really good experiences, looking forward to more.

Interests

Biking, walking, hiking, swimming, beach combing, surfing, rowing, travelling, road trips, theatre, history, cooking, food, sharing stories, learning new things, art (both viewing it and making it), experiencing new cultures, people watching, board games (think Cranium), music (making & listening).

Books - anything by Terry Pratchett, My Sisters Keeper, Diary of Anne Frank, Ender's Game, Lonely Plant Guidebooks. Travel and history books. National Geographic photo books are always good.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been lucky enough to spend 6 months living with and getting to know 3 beautiful dolphins.

Teach, Learn, Share

I usually have a good idea of where good free/almost free activities are around town. Can teach you how to peel a peach so you get only two pieces of skin. Would like to share stories of our travelling adventures.
