About Me

I love adventure and I love traveling. I currently am riding my bike around Portugal and Spain. This journey has been absolutely incredible and the people I have met are always so great. Navigating cities are always difficult with a tent and bike- as well as it is illegal for wild camping, so it's been amazing to meet people and have a safe place to sleep!

Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.
- Carl Gustav Jung

I am really just looking to grow and learn around the experiences I have and people I meet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surfed all throughout Southeast Asia and Europe and one day when I have a home I will host!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far, so GREAT! The people of this community are so awesome and generous with their homes. When I have a home, I will be reciprocating it back to the world!

Interests

I seek adventure, and the thrill of a good time. The beauty of the world astounds me. Mountains are my best friends. I love to travel and get to meet new people, and enjoy the cultures and differences of the world. I live in the Canadian Rockies and snowboard, hike, ski, climb, and search for anything that gets my adrenaline pumping. Have I mentioned I love to travel?
