Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
See the world and meet amazing people, be freeeeee.
Going to school so that I can one day open my dream hostel- the location is undecided, but I assure you that it will be amazing!
ABOUT ME
Canadian:D 22 years old. Personality wise- Many say I remind them of Phoebe Buffay from friends haha. I often am able to bond with people right away and after spending a couple days with a host or travelers, I feel as if I've known them for years; that's one of the magical things about traveling and couch surfing. I love sports and competition, hiking, nice views, socializing, going out and enjoying the night too.
I'm often a solo traveler, who likes to meet new people and explore different countries. I traveled in Europe from January to May last year, then worked until December and went to Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia, Australia and Hawaii. Also stayed in New York for a week in September and had an awesome time! After that I traveled around Europe again to Oslo, Barcelona, Ibiza, Mallorca, Munich, Crete, Santorini, Mykonos, Athens, Prague, Krakow, Budapest, Malmo, London, then LA on my way home:).
PHILOSOPHY
Things have a way of working out.
Follow your instincts and they will lead you to the place you are meant to be.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I love going to events, hosting people in Vancouver or giving out as many helpful tips as I can. I try to meet as many people as possible and gain many perspectives on the city, lifestyle and culture.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I am open to everything! Couch surfed for the first time in Darwin. Now I am addicted. I've Couch surfed about many times and I would like to do it more and also host more people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I'll list many because they're good conversation starters and I'm just happy to have these memories....Skydiving in Australia, scuba diving in Thailand, caving in Budapest, surfing in Bali, teaching English in Germany, Oktoberfest in Munich, partying...everywhere, camping in Italy, Sailing in Mexico, getting lost everywhere and finding better things than what I was looking for, and the people I have met have been the thing that makes me keep traveling. I have met lifelong friends that I will always keep in contact with and make the effort to fly to a different continent to see them:D
Teach, Learn, Share
I don't know where to begin, but I think as you get to know people and develop that friendship and trust, things fall into place and people realise that they have a lot of knowledge to offer and same for the other person and most couch surfers enjoy sharing their experiences with one another, which opens up travellers to so many opportunities and adventures that they wouldn't even expect to happen.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Experiences, language, friends, and most importantly we will create new experiences that we can enjoy and look back on.
