Hello, my name is Amelia :) I'm from Vancouver, Canada and I am currently studying abroad for my undergraduate degree in Tours, France. I came to France with the intention of learning the french language and studying history, but also with the intention of learning about different cultures and gaining life experience through traveling and meeting new people.
When my time is up in Europe, I plan to share my newly acquired knowledge with my students as I plan on becoming a teacher in Canada.
I am trying to see as much of Europe as I can while I'm here. I'm hoping to learn about European culture and share some of mine along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think couchsurfing seems like a great way to travel and learn more about the culture and cities I'm visiting! I hope to share the same experiences and hospitality of those I stay with in Europe when I'm back in Canada !

Interests

My interests mostly consist of reading, dancing, anything related to history, travel, photography, soccer, yoga, hiking, walking, running, looking at beautiful things (i.e. art, monuments, sunsets, sunrises, people in general) etc.

Teach, Learn, Share

I decided to move across the world away from my comfortable life in Canada to learn as much as I can through cultural interactions with Europeans. I am open to learning anything that you are willing to teach me. In return, I can teach you what I have learned along the way and hope that we can profit from each other's shared stories and advice.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I hope to share interesting conversations, cooking recipes, Canadian (and some french) culture, and some weak jokes with you.
