Hi there! I'm Lora, I'm from Calgary, Canada. I thrive on exploring new places and immersing myself in different cultures. Whether it's hiking in the mountains, diving into local cuisine, or simply sharing stories with new friends, I'm all about creating unforgettable experiences.

As a host, I'm friendly, open-minded, and always excited to welcome fellow travelers into my home. I believe in the spirit of Couchsurfing—sharing not just a space, but also a part of our lives. My place is cozy and spacious with a separate bathroom, pool table and tennis table.

When I'm not traveling, you'll find me hiking, camping, playing music, signing, doing yoga, skiing, acting in the theater, studying psychology. I love learning new things, so I'm always up for a good conversation about anything from philosophy to the best local eateries.

Looking forward to meeting you and sharing our adventures!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined Couchsurfing to connect with fellow travelers and locals. For me, traveling is all about meeting new people, sharing stories, and experiencing different cultures firsthand. Also, I love traveling, but accommodation costs have become insane—hotels have gone mad! I'm here to help people explore and to explore myself. Couchsurfing offers a way to connect with locals and fellow travelers, making travel more affordable and enriching. By hosting and surfing, I get to share experiences, make new friends, and discover new places from a local's perspective. Looking forward to our next adventure together!
