About Me

Don't you just love writing about yourself? I always find it a bit contrived...but here goes. I'm a young woman from Canada, and rarely do I find myself in one place for a long time. I'm very optimistic, trusting, and also trustworthy. I LOVE meeting new people, and have traveled alone a lot in order to expand my network of friends globally :)
I enjoy having fun, but equally enjoy my downtime also!

I work for Médecins Sans Frontières, a medical humanitarian NGO.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've done a lot of traveling, and a lot of hostelling with that. While staying in a hostel has many perks, and is a lot of fun sometimes, I am becoming more interested in meeting people who live where I am visiting. I appreciate the sense of camaraderie in the community, and am looking forward to meeting many of you.

Interests

I LOVE music, and love to attend live concerts whenever possible. I'm not picky, just generally appreciate great music. I have recently discovered my love for jazz music.
I love to talk with people! Honestly, I am so interested in learning about other people's lives and experiences.
I enjoy running, yoga, and cycling

Music, Movies, and Books

I appreciate essentially all music...except metal I think! Loving jazz and soul right now, especially Gregory Porter and Michael Kiwanuka.
Many favorite books & movies also!

Teach - first aide skills (haha), new perspectives, who knows what I can teach! Learn - anything and everything, all the time! Share - my passion for life, fun-loving spirit
