Hey! I am currently in Vancouver, where I am working a summer job, and while I'm here, I want to explore more around the west coast. The dream afterwards is to keep travelling, although I haven't made any specific plans yet. If you're in Vancouver and want to hang out, feel free to message me! I'm always open to meeting likeminded new people!

I started taking aerial circus classes a few years ago. Because of COVID-19 and my transient lifestyle, I have not been very consistent with my training, but I have tried to keep up with it as much as possible. I started out doing silks but have recently started hoop as well. I absolutely love both, and I did my first silks performance this past February while I was living in Seoul. I aspire to continue improving and to do more performances one day, and I'd love to connect with other members of the circus community, whether they be veterans or newbies like myself.

I am an active person who loves the outdoors. I enjoy weightlifting, hiking, birdwatching, stargazing, and travelling. I am also a big lifelong animal lover and have been vegetarian since I was fifteen.

My approach to life is this: Life is precious and short. Take risks, focus on what you love, and make the most of the time you have.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to travel the world while meeting new people and seeing the world through the eyes of locals. I'd love to get to know you, your town, and your culture!

I am not, however, interested in dating or any other kind of "fun" so please do not contact me for those purposes.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love birds! I always like learning about the birds in the areas I visit, and of course I could show you how to ID the ones I know. I can teach you some of the stars and constellations in the night sky as well. I also love to share stories, perspectives, and experiences.
