CURRENT MISSION

if it's an adventure, I'm coming along

ABOUT ME

Originally from California but currently living in Montreal. I want to go everywhere, see everything, and meet everyone! I mean it.

My passion in life is language, both foreign and my own. I work as a translator and interpreter. As English becomes the default in international conversation, its really a gift for me when hosts and surfers want to share their native language with me (whether I speak it or not ;) ) . Nothing makes me happier than getting to know new people- we are all so complicated and fascinating. I love sharing stories and adventures with both new and old friends. So let's go do something weird!

PHILOSOPHY

live simply, actively love everyone regardless of how you feel about them, surround yourself with funny people, never turn down an adventure

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Both surfing and hosting. There are few other things in life that allow you to both give and receive so joyfully. In Scotland, there is a stipulation of the law called the "right to roam" which means that everyone has open access to the land for recreational and educational purposes without paying. I love this concept and want to help apply it to as much of the world as possible, starting with my home

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

100% positive, always resulting in crazy stories and meeting awesome people. I wouldn't trade anything for the hilarious and bizarre encounters I've had both while hosting and surfing

Interests

I love doing anything outdoors, ocean, mountains, desert, glaciers, I dont care where. enjoying live music, languages, reading and writing, pretending i can play musical instruments, dancing, board games, trying new things

if you know interesting facts about anything or any subject, i REALLY want you to tell me them. one of my goals in life is to know everything.
