Hello! I am a huge advocate for Couchsurfing! I am born and raised in Canada. I did an exchange semester in Montpellier, France which I absolutely loved. Then I backpacked Europe for a month and a half making the most of my time there meeting many awesome people along the way.

I'm very fun-loving, energetic, positive, and always up for anything! I enjoy learning about people and their culture, experiences, and languages. I enjoy nature, architecture, going out for drinks and food, and hearing about the history of each place I go. I also enjoy a good party!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a very social person and want to meet new people from different backgrounds and cultures, make new friends, and share experiences! I also find that there are always things you don't know about a city until someone from the city tells you or shows you it. I also feel that I receive a much more rewarding experience and personalized feeling about a country when I meet amazing people there. Sometimes, I forget I'm even couchsurfing and I feel like I'm just visiting an old friend. It's really an amazing realization when you meet someone that fits with you so well. I am addicted to meeting new people and through Couchsurfing, I want to see, learn, and mainly feel more for the place I'm visiting and make new friends!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Rode a scooter from Chiang Mai to Pai through 762 winding, steep curves with a passenger on my bike - in the dark and in the rain! Not the wisest decision but made it out without a scratch :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you some Vietnamese and/or English. I can also teach you how to play the piano, saxophone, or flute. I can teach you how to read music. I can also provide you with some great company and conversations! I can help you brainstorm ideas for your business as well. And if you're in my city, I can show you some great places to eat and go for fun.

I would love to learn your language, culture, and customs and some great places to eat locally wouldn't hurt too :P

What I Can Share with Hosts

Funny stories, the love of food, interesting conversation, a helping hand, a grateful smile :)
