CURRENT MISSION

To expand my knowledge of culture & languages while meeting some amazing people along the way. I'm a culture shock addict and love new people, places, & food,

ABOUT ME

I am very organized and clean/neat, and am a respectable house guest. I love to meet new people and experience new cultures! I have a Bachelor of Physical Education and Recreation, as well as a degree in Education with a minor in German. I am currently teaching as a substitute teacher with the school board.

I have traveled throughout Europe extensively, however I keep returning to visit family in Germany and visiting new places that I've missed along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My living situation right now does not offer any extra room for surfers. However, I do enjoy meeting couch surfers and showing them around. I have driven down surfers and toured Banff/Jasper as well as Elk Island National Park. I really enjoy showing people around and am looking forward to when I am able to host again.

If anyone is ever in Edmonton let me know and I can absolutely show you around or at least get you set up for a night out!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couch surfed across Europe (Berlin, Mainz, Amsterdam, Brussels, Paris, London, Bristol, Oslo, Odense, Milan) as well as in the USA (San Francisco, Vegas). I've had some amazing experiences, and love this community so much.

Interests

I am very athletic. I am an IFBB amateur bikini competitor and love to run, practice yoga, dance and play soccer. When travelling I do like to be active everyday and will either do a home workout or go for a run every morning. (please feel free to join me!) I really enjoy learning about the history of different cities and cultures that I visit along with trying new foods!

I am always up for trying new things however I like to travel fairly balanced. I enjoy visiting museums, and historical sights, but am always down for a night out,

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- I was fortunate enough to walk in the Rosenmontag Karneval/fashing parade, in Cologne Germany in 2014., with my German dance group. I also played mass in Trinidad at their Carnival parade in 2016. It was really cool celebrating the same festival in such different ways. Amazing experiences!

- Close second: Two summers ago I got my Open Water Scuba certification in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. It was on my bucket list and diving out there was an amazing experience. It really opened my eyes to a whole new world and it's something I'd love to keep up with,
