CURRENT MISSION

To explore new cities, meet new people and photograph my journey!

ABOUT ME

Friends told me that this site is a great way to meet people with similar goals who want to travel on a budget and have new experiences so here I am. Lately I've become dissatisfied with the routine and dull monotony of everyday life so I've decided to travel. Fly to Vancouver, visit friends and from there I'm off to Sydney along with a work visa to take some risks, make some discoveries and see where I wind up.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and Learn. I think of every experience as a learning experience, there are no mistakes. Just ways in which we develop and grow. Basically everything happens for a reason, even if we can't recognize that at the time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would love the chance to show off my favourite bars and places to go in Toronto to anyone visiting! I'm not much into the club scene anymore but there are quite a few great cafes, bars, restaurants that make for great conversation.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

No experience really, just want to meet new people who share the same craving to travel and escape a dull, monotonous life.

Teach, Learn, Share

Don't want what you don't need.

You don't drown by going underwater, you drown by staying underneath.

Be the person you need to be.

Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.
