About Me

I'm an easy going self employed gardener and trained musician who prioritizes balancing work and play. I am very content with where I am in life, yet I still crave new experiences. I did a lot of travelling in my 20's and continue to try to get away somewhere new at least once a year. I love hosting travellers and meeting new people as it breaks up my everyday routine in life and refreshes my soul. I have found my passion in music and feel very fortunate to have something that I can turn to when times are tough. Family and friends are of utmost importance in my life and I find myself constantly surrounding myself with good people. I always love an excuse to go out and party.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just joined couchsurfing because I am planning a trip to South America this winter. I love hosting people that visit Toronto, trying to make their stay as comfortable as possible. Although I haven't done this officially through couch surfing, I am someone who is always willing to host visitors. I grew up in a house of 8, so I am accustomed to being around groups. I hope to meet locals on my travels in South America as I think it is the best way to get the insider view of different places. I hope I get to meet some of you very soon!
