I'm a theatre artist and writer doing my masters degree in social justice and equity studies at Brock University in St. Catharines, Ontario. I ran an LGBTQ+ theatre company for six years in Calgary, Alberta before I moved here with my partner, who is studying medicine at McMaster. This is our last year in the Niagara region before we move to wherever my partner gets placed for residency. I love hosting people and showing them the region - wine tasting, good conversations, beautiful scenic drives. I'm very chill and love meeting new people. I'm an enneagram 4w3 and Meyers Briggs ENFP.
I am queer and also a spiritual person.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I joined way back in 2010 and forgot about the service. Rejoined in August 2018. I am in my last year of my masters, so I have a lot of alone time and am looking for ways to get my socializing time in to keep me sane and just wanting to meet amazing people. I'm also planning a trip to Denmark/Iceland in October by myself and then Italy/Greece in May/June with my partner, so hoping to meet some people from those places and other places too. I love the communal pay it forward feeling of couch surfing - when I travel I don't want to live like a tourist, I want to live like a local and see their culture and city through their eyes.
