Hello! I recently moved to Montreal, Quebec, from Vancouver, British Columbia, and am enjoying exploring this side of the continent. I work as a climate policy analyst, do muay thai and enjoy reading and drawing. I'm also an avid cyclist and runner - currently training for the Montreal marathon in Sept 2024 and slowly planning a Vancouver-Los Angeles bikepacking trip. Would love to meet new people and have some fun together 🌞

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Staying with/hosting people is way more fun than staying in hostels or hotels! I love building community and sharing perspectives/skills. I think we can learn a lot from each other through conversation and observation.

Interests

I have pretty broad interests and am open to most experiences. Spontaneity and serendipity bring me a lot of joy :) I’m also quite versatile - love being an early riser but also love dancing until the lights come on in the club.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bikepacking Haida Gwaii with my best friend for 6 days last summer! Neither of us had much experience going into it but we figured it out and met some incredible people.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Enthusiasm for life, conversation about climate/environment, can teach you some muay thai moves :)
