I'm a very enthusiastic, honest person. I enjoy silence as much as I'm uplifted by riveting conversation.

I adore travel and photography, which is a deadly combination. I like to explore slowly. I appreciate leeway for spontaneity and little time-restraints, and don't care much for the touristy attractions. It's the people, the hideouts, the personal places, the discoveries that are most fruitful to me.

In Toronto, I am a multidisciplinary artist. At this time, I am choreographing dance pieces, collaborating with fine artists, and performing in film/theatre projects. My ultimate drive as an artist is to inspire love through a glimpse into the human condition. I also facilitate Contact Improvisation/ Authentic Movement workshops as human connection through touch is integral to me. I have also studied Design at York University and love to capture the essence of people, transcendent moments, and livening emotions.

Using my body and having an intimate relationship with my environment is essencial to me. I push my body's limits, eat right, and like to immerse in natural environments by swimming across lakes, climbing cliffs, hiking, running, you name it.

It is important to me to live life with integrity and a deep connection to myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think the best way to get to know a place is through exposure to real locals and their way of life. Couchsurfing is a great way way to connect to real people through whom I can learn to see the beauty of their home through their eyes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've hiked the Kalalau Valley in Kauai, and biking on the handle-bars down a mountain while cops waved as they passed us.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn new artistic and practical crafts
I love to hike through the natural parts of a place to get a feeling of the land
I love to be shown personal snippets on life
I thrive on sincerity

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to dance Contact Improv
I can share good adventure tales
And I'm a really really good listener
