I recently graduated from university and am currently living in a L'Arche community in Wolfville, Nova Scotia.
Eventually I would like to finish my studies- hopefully get my masters in a field within the health sciences. Right now I am just enjoying a life of new experiences and adventure.
When time and money permit me to, I want to see the rest of Canada (since it is so large and vast). I also hope to have the opportunity to see bits and pieces of the world as well.
During my free time I enjoy reading in cafes (or people watching), going for walks and hikes, exploring and having conversations with the people around me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting and getting to know people that come from different backgrounds and cultures. From the little experiences that I have had with couchsurfing I have met some open and genuine people who have broadened my view of living. Also, couchsurfing gives you the opportunity to see places from a locals point of view.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my love for adventure and am always interested in getting out and being active.
