Hi! My name is Andrew and I'm a teacher from Toronto, Canada with a love for travel, language and culture. I lived in Costa Rica for four years teaching ESL, and now do the same thing in Toronto. I love learning about and experiencing different cultures, languages and customs, and it's the perfect job as I get to meet people from all over the world - and, when I'm lucky, get to travel myself!

I love sports, music, meeting new people, and taking the path less traveled. Cheers to new experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Brand new here! I'm on CouchSurfing to get the most out of my travels. I've never been one to do the "normal" stuff while on vacation. I hope to meet local people, share stories, learn some of the culture, and see things I would not have otherwise.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Moving to Costa Rica with no job, no friends, not speaking the language, no contacts and making it work. Not only was it the best decision I've ever made, the four years there were the best of my life.

Stories from around the world, Canadian humor and personality, and a promise to show you the best time in Toronto if and when you come.
