I'm currently a masters student and studied history and politics at the University of Toronto.

I've always liked to travel but recently fell in love with it and have been trying to explore as much as I can. I recently stayed in Germany for a month and before that spent some time in Eastern Europe.

My main reasons for travel are to learn more about cultures and meet new people. I also like wandering unfamiliar places and seeing the sites but I'm really open to anything even if that means being outside my comfort zone.

I consider myself an incredibly social person and love situations where I don't know many people. I like to go out to bars, parties, etc but I'm also happy to sometimes stay in and love watching movies and playing boardgames.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Im interested in meeting new people and learning about different cultures. Id also like to see more of the world. I lived with some exchange students for university and always heard positive things about it!

Hosting:
I can host whenever I am free :) I've had international friends stay with me in the past and I love the opportunity to show them around Toronto!
