I'm a queer woman from Toronto, Ontario, and a freelance writer/photographer. While traveling, I'm up for adventure and nightlife, but I also like to lay low and experience the day-to-day lifestyle of the place I'm visiting. I'm into consuming quality coffee, art, red wine, dark beer and good food. I really into cooking and would love to cook for any of my hosts. I love the water. Let's go swimming.
