PHILOSOPHY

I used to find this saying annoying "Make it Happen" by Tony Robbins because it was said so frequently by my friends around me and I just didn't believe in it. One day however when I realized my life wasn't moving forward, I realized just how important that quote was in achieving happiness.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

If you are in Toronto, I can show you around.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

CS has been a great way to meet new people. When I was in Poland I met 2 awesome guys who showed me around the small town I was visiting making my stay more exciting.

Back here in Waterloo, I showed someone who contacted me on CS around town and got them settled in and introduced to the living arrangements.

in 2012, I embarked on the hosting adventure and had a handful of super awesome people stay with me. It was a great experience and we all had lotz of fun!!! I hope to return to hosting once I get a bigger place but until then I would love to meet up and show you around this crazy awesome city known as Toronto

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When in Poland I climbed the Tatry mountain range and stood in the middle of Eye of the Sea. Standing on the middle of the lake and looking up at the stars was one of the most breathtaking experiences I did. I strongly recommend anyone to climb the mountains that lie between Poland and Slovakia :)

Went scuba diving for the first time in Jamaica a few years ago. Even though I was terrified, it was amazing to see all the living organisms underwater

Countries I’ve Visited
