Hi! My name is Jake and I am 28 from Toronto, Canada. Born and raised.

***PLEASE NOTE THAT I STILL LIVE IN TORONTO AND NOT IN NYC! My profile has been showing up in NYC searches BUT I am not living there!!!***

I've been a member now of this Couchsurfing community for some time, and from what I've experienced , this is one great community filled with eager and gung-ho travellers and people who are just ready to connect. I find myself to be just the same, and in recent times I am attempting to relinquish this of myself. Glad to be a part of the club!

I come from a wide variety of experiences and career choices, from the Military, to the Banking world, Automotive sales, Acting, Hospitality.. and now recently testing my endurance as an entrepreneur, flinching-forward my way to my peak of success that is within reach. You could say that I also am learning more about myself as I experience more of this life, and come into contact with the many experiences that I am grateful to have encountered.

I'm into a lot of things. I find myself to be quite the outdoor person. I love nature and surrounded by its beauty and awe. I thirst for adventure (and danger, more often than not to remind myself that I am alive. Of which I need more of), looking for it wherever I go, and whomever may be willing to share in such experiences. I enjoy discovering and exploring, which surely makes me an enthusiastic traveller. I find great interests in spirituality and metaphysical pursuits. I am a big believer in discovering one's "inner self" and tapping into the source of infinite intelligence. I also simply enjoy company and love to learn about others and their experiences and life in hopes to learn more from each other, and put new ideas and ideals into motion.

There is quite a lot more with that, but that would best be saved for when our paths may cross.

I'm a conversationalist. You can count on me for a good conversation, stories or anything, really.

I have always been drawn to nature and love being in the outdoors.

I enjoy meditating, discovering the secrets of the universe and love meeting people from all over the world and exploring new cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people and sharing an authentic experience as well as contributing to a community like Couchsurfing, which is why I am here.

I think its a great way for travellers to network within foreign communities and discover local venues, find and seek others with similar aspirations in life and all that follows with it.

I am relatively new to this community and I have presently not been hosted or have hosted anyone. I hope in the soon future that such changes, and that it changes soon.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

During my trip to Sedona I hiked an uphill 10 mile rocky trail up along Schnebly Hill Rd with at least 60lbs of gear and camped for 2 nights. Also went back to get firewood and came right back up. So 40 miles altogether; Part of a vision/self quest, to stargaze and to build a better relationship with myself.
