Hello!

I am a 31 year old female. Up until 4 months ago, I was an environmental chemist living in an adorable bachelor apt in Vancouver, BC. I decided that I needed a change - a BIG one. So I quit my job and moved out of my apt! I am now traveling in south America, so I really don't have a home at the moment... I'm a little bit of a hobo ;) but having a great time, and hoping to make some friends in awesome places along the way!

Once I settle (maybe in Vancouver again), I will host travellers.

Thank you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

See above ;)

I don't have any references yet because this is my first time, but I promise from my heart that I will be a great couch surfer guest!!!

Interests

So many! I love nature - walking and hiking and camping - all of it! I'm also very interested in history and culture. Music is a huge part of my life, though I don't play an instrument well. Also a huge film nerd. And I can't forget food. I love food - especially to eat it. Good conversation, great company - these are the things I live for.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - jazz, indie, blues, Motown, soul, hip hop... Anything good!
Films - too many to list. Let's talk about it!
Books - mostly non-fiction these days...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I just went paragliding in San Gil, Colombia and it was amazing!

I've done Habitat for Humanity... I lived in Scotland for a year, I volunteered with gibbons (small apes) in Thailand, I bike the seawall regularly in Vancouver, I go to music festivals, I roadtripped around Iceland, I played with and tutored awesome kids in university... All these things are amazing in my books ;)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would be so happy to cook or bake for you! I'm also pretty good company for a laid back personality. Im usually up for adventures, so you'd have a wing man ;) I really love learning about people, especially about their passions.
