About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Participate in making this world as wonderful as it should be.

ABOUT ME

After many years working with nonprofits and in the charitable sector, I feel I have much to see around the world and learn about how helping others is happening elsewhere.
I am a bubbly person that likes to joke around and have fun with new people! I really like going for walks in new cities, grabbing new food, and getting lost, then hopefully finding out way back.

PHILOSOPHY

"Be the change you want to see in the world"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As soon as our guest room is set up, hoping to host new friends. Open to meeting up with new people too!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

While bussing through Central America, I couchsurfed in the main cities and had an amazing experience. I have yet to host but I can't wait to do it in Montreal!

Interests

Having graduated from environment studies, I also love talking about current issues with regards to food security, environmental problems/policies, or just talking about anything really. I also study philanthropy I know right, who knew you could study that?

I love cooking and trying new foods, I even started a food blog that covers recipes but also sustainable food initiatives. I have also recently developed an interest in art galleries and crafts markets, so many interesting things to find there!
