Hello CS community!

My name is Ashley and I am a 30 year old gal (no idea why my profile says male lol) from Alberta Canada. Unfortunately my account was deleted awhile back but I have been a member and user of CS since 2014 or so. I have hosted and been hosted, and it is a massive shame to have lost all my references :(

When I’m not backpacking I am home studying - I have nearly completed the archaeology degree that I started during the pandemic and I work as an archaeologist / treeplanter in the summer months. I have been living in a van the last five months working around the beautiful province of British Columbia doing various jobs.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been part of the CS community for many years; unfortunately during Covid my original profile was deleted.***

I love hosting and being hosted. There is nothing better than showing off your city or meeting folks abroad who have the insider tips on what to do where, and I love meeting new people.
