I grew up in Brantford Ontario, Canada. I currently live in Athens, Greece with my cat Buddy.

At my core, I'm an artist. Starting out as a musician first, I fell in love with the creative process. I went on to study electrical engineering in college and took part in many Photography exhibitions in Patras and Livadia. In 2003 I was introduced to the art of magic. Combining the arts of music, magic, photography and cinematography I try to make my world a very interesting place.

Professionally I Teach English as a foreign language. I do online lessons from my home office.

I live in Kypseli Athens and have a separate, cozy room with one big bed available for guests. However, please note that I do have a cat 🐈, so if you have allergies or are not comfortable around cats, this may not be the best fit for you. Additionally, I do not allow smoking in my home 🚭.

Due to my work schedule, I am not always available to socialize or show guests around the city, but I am more than happy to provide recommendations and answer any questions you may have. Most weekends, my 12-year-old daughter visits me, so please keep that in mind if you are looking for a more quiet or private stay.

If you are respectful and responsible and don't mind sharing space with a furry friend, my Couchsurfing space is open to you. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me if you are in need of a place to stay. I look forward to welcoming you into my home and sharing in the adventure of travel together.
