CURRENT MISSION

live it and love it

ABOUT ME

I'm from CBS and currently living with my parents in Kilbride, St. John's. I always surround myself with the GREATEST people, and I enjoy playing outside, live music, dancing, hula-hooping, cooking, photography, travel, languages, culture, all types of life experience.

PHILOSOPHY

I try not to take the world for granted.
One can find beauty in the simplist things!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I currently don't have a couch to offer, but I'm more than willing to meet up and show you all around my lovely province!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I joined CS on advice from a friend when planning a trip to Montréal in summer 07. It was my first time traveling alone, and was definitely a fantastic experience. Jacob, Phillippe, and Andrès were perfect hosts. I have since fallen in love with Montréal and it's poutine, so much so that I moved there last summer, and am going back again for 6 weeks this coming summer.

Interests

I'm really interested in people and what makes them tick (myself included). Biiig soul searcher here. Every day I fall more in love with life and the people that make it so great.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Summer 09.
Packed up and moved to Montreal with my sister and best friends. Also lived in Quebec city for a french bursary and was joined by ANOTHER best friend. Saw lots of great live music, the cherry on the cake being Radiohead in Toronto (front row floor pit mmmm hmmm). It's difficult to explain what an amazing summer this was to anyone other than those who were there. I have no doubt I will spend the rest of my live with these people and summer 09 made us as close as we are.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can definitely show you how to make sushi, and teach you to play the piano. I can likely help you with your english and/or french as well.
