I'm a nerdy, Canadian, animal-loving traveler who was raised by Germans and thus knows how to respect people's living spaces. New experiences, foods, and friends are my goals, especially if they include opportunities for learning. (e.g. helping to bring an astronomical observatory to Burning Man in 2014).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Being able to travel for less is obviously a factor, but making real connections with people seems like a better way to see the world.

Interests

Astronomy, sci-fi, anime & manga, art galleries, bookstores, dancing my butt off, fashion, languages, LGBT, science, writing, yoga.
