I'm a perpetual university student currently studying psychology and East Asian studies at the U of A. Avid lover of life, books, hiking, painting, backpacking, socialising - you name it I'm up for it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love new experiences, some of the best experiences I've had in life have come from meeting new an interesting folks from around the globe. I love backpacking, and when I'm not backpacking I still enjoy leading a lifestyle that reminds me of that love, a big part of that is hosting others as they have hosted me!

Interests

I have a theory - that you should try everything once, and only after giving it a really good shot, shoot it down if you don't like it. I think many people believe in that idea, but really trying to embody that perspective is what I try to do with my time.
