Hi! I’m from Toronto, Canada. Grew up here but have been abroad for 10 years, with lots of stories and experiences to share. Just came back last year! I lived in London, UK, Indonesia, China, and Brunei. Have hosted several CSers in China and elsehwere. I’m a High School English teacher, and taught on 3 continents, so I get summers off. Would love to meet up, explore, exchange travel stories and advice. I’m nice, funny, and friendly. I love a good conversation, enjoy craft beer, love to discover new walk/bike trails, and just generally enjoy the great outdoors. Feel free to check out my references :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To make new friends from around the world so I have friend when I'm in a foreign place and to exchange experiences and advice on travel.
