I only host women or couples, at this time I cannot make exceptions to this rule. Please take the time to read my profile before sending a request, as I will under no circumstances host a single male surfer.

Musician/storyteller-storylover/optimist who loves to travel and be around people.

I'm energetic, excitable, and rarely ever in a bad mood. I want to connect with people everywhere I go and hear all of their stories!

I am super passionate about the arts. I am a community builder and I love my job and I'll probably talk about it a lot.

I very recently had someone tell me that "[I] collect people" and I found it very poignant. I love talking to people, trading stories, and making new ones with them! I remember everyone I meet and I try my hardest to make lasting connections- you never know when the world will decide to come full circle and bring you together again in the same place!

Love a good cappuccino, beer, and gin.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people(and cats!). The best way to get to know a place is through the people who live there, and I love giving people the opportunity to see their home through new eyes! I try to only surf when I have no set plans because I want to get to know the people who host me, as opposed to when I was young and just cheap ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Jumped into solo travelling by backpacking around Mexico.

Left everything behind and moved to Korea by myself.

Said yes to a stranger in a hostel and ended up at a Mexican wedding.

Danced on the rickety floor of a second story shack/speak easy to a french jazz band.

High speed scooter chase through the hills of Lombok, Indonesia. Amazingly dangerous.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some things about music, or skincare, or korean food!

The best thing I've learned on the road was how to juggle. My teacher was a hawker at Copacobana Beach, he told me I'd make a fortune because "In Rio, blonde girls don't juggle".

I'll share with you all sorts of little known Canadian bands and beautiful places to explore in Atlantic Canada. And food. And all the famous people who also happen to be Canadian. And maybe maple syrup.

What I Can Share with Hosts

The art of Korean breakfast.
