Overview
About Me
Hi! I’m based near Canada’s capital and work as a social worker. I love connecting with people, hearing their stories, and learning about different cultures, it’s a big part of why I enjoy Couchsurfing.
I’m a total foodie, always curious about local dishes and flavors. Cooking and baking are passions of mine, and I’m always excited to swap recipes, cook together, or just share a good meal.
I’d describe myself as warm, open-minded, and easygoing. Whether it’s chatting over coffee, exploring a neighborhood, or hanging out in the kitchen, I enjoy building connections wherever I go.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I’m on Couchsurfing because I believe travel is about people, not just places. For me, the best way to experience a city or culture is through the people who live there—their food, stories, and everyday life.
As a social worker, I’m passionate about connection and community, and Couchsurfing feels like a natural extension of that. I love meeting people from around the world, sharing meals, exchanging traditions, and learning from each other.
Whether I’m surfing, hosting, or just meeting up for coffee, I see Couchsurfing as a way to make the world feel a little smaller, warmer, and more connected.
