About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Work, travel and meet new people

ABOUT ME

I am a Canadian currently living and working in London, UK. I can be described as a friendly outgoing person who likes to be spontaneous, especially when I'm traveling. I enjoy meeting new people, learning new languages, watching comedy shows/improv/theatricals, volunteering and staying active outdoors. I definitely love sweets, especially chocolate.

PHILOSOPHY

-MC Solaar

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I heard from a friend who was traveling and realized what an awesome idea this was!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Positive so far. For my first experience, I went to Nelson, BC and was able to connect with a local couchsurfer who showed me around and introduce me to his friends as well. I've also toured a couchsurfer who contacted me from the States.

I now enjoy hosting and meeting people who are traveling and staying in Vancouver and plan to meet with locals during my travels.
