I had a great time using CouchSurfing a few years ago during my first international travels and met many wonderful people. I'm excited to return to CouchSurfing and hope to meet new people, explore the communities in which they live, and learn as much as I can. I'm trying to make every moment count and surround myself with fun, interesting people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet amazing people and explore new places. The people you find on Couchsurfing are the best way to experience a new city, practice new languages, and discover something new.

I believe that seeing a new city through the eyes of a local is a real privilege, and Couchsurfing enables these experiences, so I'm here for the ride!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

Always open to helping others practice English, French, or Spanish. Also always up for playing sports and finding new places to go hiking.

I’m always eager to learn about politics in the countries I visit and I’m happy share what I know about where I come from and where I’ve been.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share vegetarian recipes with you (my favourite is tofu curry!) and my passion for the outdoors. I'm also happy to practice, English, French, or Spanish with you. I enjoy conversation with new people and love to share insights from the work and studies focused on global health and economics.

I can help with chores, preparing meals, and anything that would be helpful in your home. I hope that we can work out an arrangement that leaves us both feeling that we learned from one another and enjoyed the time we shared!
