About Me

I’m from Canada. I’m easygoing and flexible. I’m generally pretty outgoing but I can be shy sometimes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel a lot and it would be great to make friends with people who live locally in the places I visit. Plus, I moved to Europe from Canada so I would like to meet some interesting people to hang out with in Freiburg.

Music, Movies, and Books

My taste is pretty eclectic when it comes to music. I’m open to any music that doesn’t contain lyrics that degrade women.
Movies, I’m pretty open too, it just depends on my mood. I especially like comedies, action films and horror films about monsters (vampires, etc.) or demons/spirits. I hate it when the dog dies!!!! Although, the John Wick series is awesome 😁.
For books I’m pickier. My favorite authors are David Eddings (fantasy) and Jane Austin. But I am open to finding new interesting books or authors. I loved Ready Player One and Holes. And Darkness at Noon (Arthur Koestler) is one of my favorite books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Played in an international Foosball Tournament in Belgium

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach English, math, US taxes…probably more stuff I can’t think of right now. I love to learn, so I’m open to learning just about anything! Share? What do you need?

What I Can Share with Hosts

Once I settle in I hopefully could share a couch. In the meantime, I hear I’m usually pretty good company 😊.
