I'm a quirky, sweet, inquisitive, creative, spiritual, health conscious, friendly girl from Toronto.

I studied Philosophy and Sexuality/Gender Studies and I currently work in the health field. One of my biggest passions is helping and healing others. Life is such a wonderful journey and I can't wait to keep exploring and growing. I want to learn new things, experience everything (almost), travel whenever possible, love unconditionally, laugh uncontrollably, give generously, take seldomly, use less, floss more, be grateful and become the best person I can be - body, mind and soul.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I will be travelling solo around California between March 11-25. Planning to see Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, San Diego, Joshua Tree, Palm Springs and a bunch in between! Would love to meet some like minded interesting people, find some couches to sleep on and have a few wonderful experiences. Im on a journey of self discovery. I long to get away from the Toronto winters and see where the next leg of my life takes me. I would love to see and feel the energy of these cities from the eyes of the locals and the people that live in them.
