I am a crafty Canadian who loves to meet new people and swap life experiences. I am currently teaching grade 2 in the Ottawa Valley, Ontario, Canada. I taught overseas for two years in Vietnam at the Canadian International School and for 2 years in a remote community in Northern Manitoba. I love reading, hiking, cycling, The CBC, art and exploring new places!

I also teach a Canadian Geography course at The Canadian Ecology Centre in Mattawa, Ontario in the summer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I will be in Iceland March 10 - 15 and looking to try couch surfing for the first time and/or see if anyone would be interested in carpooling on an adventure around the Golden Circle loop or to Vik.
