About Me

CURRENT MISSION

A first timer to Canada, looking to explore and immerse myself in Candian culture and way of life!

ABOUT ME

Outgoing, polite and well humoured British university student.

Looking to do plenty of travelling around Quebec/Canada/North America over the next six months and have heard good things about CouchSurfing.

Coming to the end of a thorougly enjoyable year studying in Trois-Rivières, Québec, as part of my BA in French-International Relations at University of Leeds, in the UK. Have been lucky enough to do a fair bit of travelling around Québec and some eastern Canadian cities.

Travelling accross Canada on the train with friends made during my year abroad in Québec and stopping at every city on the route for a few days! We're looking for hosts to show us Canada, Canadians and the Canadian way of life! Upon finishing up in Vancouver, we're heading down to Seattle and travelling around the States before heading home to the UK in June.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Decided to sign up to Couchsurfing only this year as figured it'd be something to try, having heard so many positive reviews from friends.

Recently, a friend and I couchsurfed in Montréal. It was just before Christmas and we were hosted by two
accomdating and kind hosters - a thoroughly positive experience which I'd like to repeat!
