About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Experience Europe

ABOUT ME

Hey hey!
I'm a student from Canada currently working for a year in Switzerland and travelling about Europe on weekends and Holidays. I'm into reading, surfing, snowboarding, and puppetry. I also dabble in painting and photography. When I travel I try to experience all aspects of the locations I visit, thus I'm equally likely to be found in a museum or at a party.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'll host people whenever I can and I make use of the opportunity to learn from others I stay with when I travel abroad.
I spread the word as much as possible.
