CURRENT MISSION

experiencing as much of the world as possible while trying to make it a better place

ABOUT ME

I think I'm pretty laid back and easy to get along with. When I get excited about something I can get pretty intense. I need a lot of stimulation and have found recently when traveling that sleep becomes impossible and unnecessary. I love cities and spend a lot of time thinking about how they are designed, change, and are used. I spent most of the summer traveling around Europe before coming back to Toronto to start grad school.

PHILOSOPHY

be open, help others whenever possible, be mindful and thoughtful

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

surf, host, go to meet ups (mostly when travelling)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had many wonderful hosts in Europe who were so generous and open. Truly one of my favourite parts of traveling. I've hosted a few people since returning home and found that to be great as well.
