About Me

I've done my 200HR Yoga Teaching Training in Costa Rica and went travelling afterwards working at hostels and exploring along the way. Met a lot of interesting people through a volunteer work program called Workaway. I'm currently figuring out what I want to do in life and more importantly where I want to live.

I jam guitars with my buddies up in Bell Ewart (basically Innisfill) and practice Yoga and Spanish when I'm not working every hour during the week. I'm looking at getting an iRig or something similar so I can start recording with my guitar which I recently had a pickup put into.

I went to school for Engineering and about halfway through I started seeing life differently because of family circumstances and learned more about myself, the ego, and spirituality. Currently I don't eat meat and love making meals for myself although I've been working so much that it's hard to find the time to cook when I've already got a full day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I don't want to 100% commit to living and working in Toronto and I gave my two months notice for my apartment...two months ago so now I've got my room packed up in a storage facility until I can rent in February.

I've been travelling twice before and it really helped expand my comfort zone and I think a month of not knowing where I might be sleeping that night will continue to help me grow and I might even like it too much lol

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There's many amazing things that I would consider I've done but maybe other people wouldn't...For example I was driving a golf cart at work with one hand on the wheel, right foot on the gas, left foot on the throttle cable to give er more gas, half sitting in the seat going down an uneven hill with the wind whistling in my ears. Grabbed a rake out of the back of a parked cart with the flick of the wrist and swung it around letting out a war cry in victory...You see, my buddy watching the entire thing thought it was amazing, maybe it's just something you've gotta see.
