ABOUT ME

Vancouver born and raised!
I'm currently living in Burnaby (about 30 minutes outside of downtown Vancouver)
I'm a university student in Vancouver

In 2014 I was studying in Vlissingen, Netherlands on exchange and then spent left to backpack through Europe. I'm now home in Vancouver, but will be returning back to Europe in the summer to meet up with friends and family :)

PHILOSOPHY

"Realize your youth while you have it. Don'€™t squander the gold of your days, listening to the tedious, trying to improve the hopeless failure, or giving away your life to the ignorant, the common, and the vulgar. These are the sickly aims, the false ideals, of our age. Live! Live the wonderful life that is in you! Let nothing be lost upon you. Be always searching for new sensations. Be afraid of nothing." - The Picture of Dorian Gray

I'm also a huge bookworm-- and proud of it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surprisingly, I first couch surfed in Vancouver with a couple of travelers that I had meet while working! After that I even tried WOOFing (working on organic farms)which turned out to be another excellent home stay option
I've joined to open my doors to others. Living in Vancouver, I've made friends from everywhere ( it seems hardly anyone from Vancouver is actually from Vancouver, just a special few of us ;)
I've heard the most amazing stories from those who have traveled and hope to share some stories of my own.
