I'm an easygoing Canadian who's happiest when exploring outdoors and being active. I love learning about new places and cultures, am interested in living and traveling more sustainably (and try my best to), have been lucky enough to live in four countries and love to dance (jazz, salsa, bachata, zouk).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm planning a short trip to New Zealand and thought I'd try couchsurfing to learn about the country from the inside out, rather than the outside in :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Slept in a tent with lions in the campground.

Crawled through a cave on my stomach through bat guano in Kenya and swam through a cave while holding a candle in Guatemala.

Co-choreographed and performed an awesome Latin dance fusion routine.

Tried to make the world a better place by writing about sustainability.
