ABOUT ME

Hi all!

I'm Vanessa, a full-time student and part-time administrative paper pusher. I am easy going, I laugh easily and love sharing meals (which I'll offer to cook) with lots of loud people. I like nerdy things, sweater weather and exploring.

I want to travel all around the world, discovering new places and cultures.

PHILOSOPHY

Challenge yourself, be kind, and remember that everyone has something to valuable teach you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Looking to travel around North America and hopefully start hosting once I get a place big enough to accommodate.

If the timing works out, I'd be up for meeting in Toronto or showing you around the city.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have no surfing experience, just with friends and family.

Music, Movies, and Books

I watch a lot of movies. My current favorites are Brief Encounter, Vertigo, Shoot the Piano Player, most Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin... and so many more.

As for music, it depends on the day. I listen to a lot of music from the 70s and earlier, but I do have a soft spot for terrible 90s pop music.

I will read almost anything. My current picks have mostly been Roald Dahl books, French and Russian lit, graphic novels, science fiction and fantasy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Kayaking alongside seals and belugas in the St.Lawrence River.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn more languages and improve the ones I currently speak.

In return, I can teach you how to cook, bake, sew, crochet or attempt some language exchanges.
