CURRENT MISSION

To continue to kick open the box and get out of my North American bubble!

ABOUT ME

I am 28 years old from Toronto. I am outgoing, organized, motivated and love life. I will be there if you need me but expect the same in return. Travel is exhilarating and my quest is to slowly but surely to squash my world ignorance.

PHILOSOPHY

Tough. In the progress of figuring that out. Simply because life is there to live, and why not learn something, meet great people and pile up as many interesting and amazing experiences while its here?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been part of the couchsurfing community on and off and think it's brilliant! I couchsurfed for the first time in Brussels in 2011 as I explored Europe :) Then again in Iceland enroute to London a few years ago, where I was studying. Have yet to host as I have a tiny apartment in Toronto, but would love to share the wealth when me and my partner buy a house in a few years :) A few years ago since I wasn't travelling, I started going to weekly meetings and trips with couchsurfers in Toronto. I am now introducing my partner to couchsurfing as we love to travel. We've shared places with people through airbnb in Germany and Peru, which was fantastic, but I find it missing the same special moments I've experienced meeting people throuch couchsurfing and I want him to see it :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

White water canoe tripped through Northern Quebec for a month without seeing another person beyond my fellow trippers for 18 days, and pushed myself to the limit. The scenery was breathtaking. The river was calm, threatening and thrilling.

Teach, Learn, Share

A little about the Great White North that is Canada, reading music and playing the viola, literature etc. Would love to learn a new skill or merely about the place you live and all its mysteries and funky little places off the beaten path
