About Me

CURRENT MISSION

living the life i imagine!

ABOUT ME

Heya! I am an energetic and enthusiastic traveller! Just upon finishing uni I set out for Europe. I stayed for 14 months and managed to see 12 amazing countries before going to Egypt for a few weeks. I worked in London as a bartender and did WWOOFing in France. After a brief stint back in Canada I headed out to Gorgeous New Zealand, then lived in Australia for awhile. Then made it to South East Asia before returning home this October! I love meeting new people, seeing different places and trying new and crazy things!

PHILOSOPHY

Take the opportunities you are given!
The world is too beautiful to sit in one place.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As a homeless traveller I am in the midst of getting my mother to volunteer her couch. Myself, I will share my stories and experiences with my hosts as well as offer any help I can at their place.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new to the couchsurfing, but am an avid hostelsurfer. Thus, I am very accomodating and considerate to those around me, and know how to clean up after myself!

Interests

I obviously like to travel! While travelling I like to try new things such as paragliding, scuba-diving, white water rafting, all water sports etc.
I love a good glass of wine or cold beer with good people! And spend my quiet time reading.

Music, Movies, and Books

Fav. movies include Zoolander, Hot Rod, Across the Universe and Garden State.
Indie music, but love to dance to anything.
And love an array of books... usually whatever is available from book exchanges!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Paragliding in the French alps. I went to Chamonix by myself and spent a few days teaching myself to snowboard and wanted to try something more exciting, so signed up to paraglide. Absolutely beautiful, flying high over the city inbetween gorgeous snow capped mountains.
SCUBA-Diving! I have now dived in 5 countries and have seen sharks, turtles, sting rays, seals, and amazing fish! So exhilirating, love it!!

Teach, Learn, Share

Dont just visit a countries capital city! Its the smaller surrounding cities that enrich and show the actual character and culture. And spend more than a day there if possible.
