Hi, my name is Johanna, I'm a 25-year old American student/assistant teacher getting my master's degree in philosophy at Ryerson University in Toronto. I love traveling, exploring the world, and meeting new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have unofficially "couch-surfed" before, but haven't had experience with this site. I'm looking forward to couch-surfing because it's a fun way to travel and meet new people at the same time.

Interests

I love traveling, hiking, nature, history, literature, ancient philosophy, creative writing, learning Romance languages, alternative medicine, Eastern religions/philosophies, planning my next adventure (though how far can you ever plan it, anyway?) peanut butter, nutella

Music, Movies, and Books

Anais Nin, Marquez, Borges, Tolstoy, Thoreau, Plato, Heidegger...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've traveled to a lot of countries by myself, and really enjoy solo traveling. You end up meeting a lot of new people that way, while also developing your own independence.

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy people who are laid-back, open, and interested in learning about the world and sharing new experiences. I love conversations that take you in all sorts of directions and draw on all possible topics.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm always up for good conversations about anything and everything! I am also happy to pitch in with cooking and kitchen cleanup.

Countries I’ve Visited

Argentina, Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, England, France, Germany, Ghana, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Morocco, Netherlands, Scotland, Spain
