About Me

26; ENFP; fiercely Canadian
originally from the Greater Toronto Area, relocated to Northern Ontario, and have been back and forth from there to Winnipeg, Manitoba the last several years doing my law degree

read Encyclopedias for fun as a child, and now attempting to visit all those places and do the things I read about (still obsessed with Wikipedia)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the slowed down parts of travelling, swapping life stories with your companions, playing games, imagining future plans. I have stayed with many friends-of-friends through the years and having new connections across the globe is something I am thankful for and proud of.

Interests

I had had a "master of none" philosophy regarding interests for a long time, but finally found my loves. I can't get enough of jamming with musicians, getting out of town to rock climb, or discuss a possible dystopian future.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

walked 60km across Israel completely alone (in 30C weather - not recommended)

Teach, Learn, Share

I work with inner city youth and love what I do and can share about that. I'm also passionate about my corner of the world in the boreal forest of Northwestern Ontario. It's a super underrated area with an untouched wildness.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I think that's sort of in the eye of the beholder, no? I am a good listener, and enjoy discussing philosophy, law, psychology and other "behavioural sciences". Everyone tends to have opinions on these things and I can chime in ;)
