About Me

Fresh from uni, I've just finished my degree back in Canada and am now travelling around (selected parts of) the world. When I'm not travelling I work in the performance industry as a technician and manager for theatre, dance, music events, and festivals in Toronto.
I'm an easy going person and love to try new things, especicially foods, music, and activities! I enjoy wandering new cities and learning from those who know it best.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

While I'm currently only looking for couches while I'm travelling, once I'm home or settled elsewhere I'll be happy to return the favour.
I'll be spending six months in New Zealand this spring and summer and I am looking for the local experience throughout the country. I love hearing people's stories and experiencing life through others shoes and so Couchsurfing was recommended to me.

Music, Movies, and Books

Not fussy about music, I love hearing new recommendations!
For movies I love comedies and adventure films; Clue, Shaun of the Dead, Knight's Tale, The Princess Bride are a few favourites
Books. Where do I begin? Obviously with Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. Then really anything and everything from thereon out.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This! Trekking out in my own has always been something I've wanted to do and now I've done it! The world is both bigger and smaller than I initially thought.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: English, portraiture and life drawing, random animal facts
Learn: anything! Really I love learning. Especially languages and practical skills like carpentry and handicrafts
Share: stories, laughs, fun!
