I am a 22 year old Canadian girl playing hockey here in Finland. I love hockey and any sport for that matter. I am also passionate about smiling, soccer, hiking, skiing, beer, animals, and the environment. I went to university in the USA on a hockey scholarship and after graduating with a teaching degree, I decided to continue living the dream and play on a team in Europe for a chance to see the world while playing the game I love.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am a free spirited girl that is passionate about starting my trek around Europe! Being a recent graduate, it is nice to have a trusty and reliable site to plan my adventures on a tight budget.
I am living with a billet family so unfortunately, I am not able to host.

Interests

I love just about everything!
Smiling is my number one priority! Sports, music, travelling, tattoos, concerts, child care, family reunions, and spending time with people! I am a very open-minded person and I love getting along with everyone!
