Well,

Im an open minded, optimistic Canadian. I moved back to Toronto a few years ago after being away for about 15 years. I'm currently living north west of Toronto, in a small town called Eugenia.

Quick synopsis of my last few years: I recently graduated from an Architecture program in Toronto. Before then I was in Ireland for about a decade where I took a 2 year course in Permaculture and Practical Sustainability in the south of the country. From there I opened a small Organic Garden Centre with my partner at the time, raising thousands of lil baby herbs and edible plants. I had been working as a carpenter and have been getting creative at some of the Irish festivals in the summers.... (great fun).

But beyond what Im actually doing with my life at the moment, I find it hard to express what I am like as a person.... I love people, good food, music, and poetry in motion. I am interested in Architecture, building, woodworking, good design and mechanics. And I also love arts and culture and the differences in our world.

They say a good way to get to know someone fast is to get to know the people who they associate with.... Luckily for me, I am surrounded by really nice, hard working and talented friends in my community. I am proud of them and happy to share the good vibes if anyone reading this ends up coming this way. I always like meeting good people and going on spontaneous adventures. If I'm free I'm sure we can set something fun up.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been told couch surfing is a great way to meet people and experience the world on the road.

On the other end, I hosted wwoofers for 5 years in Ireland, and had a great time meeting new people with different backgrounds and I really enjoyed showing them around. I love hosting, and having some new energy around is usually a breath a fresh air.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, I Converted an old school bus into a cute little home on wheels. Then took it from the East coast of Canada to the West coast, and lived in it for a couple years. That was a fun project and a big part of my life.
