CURRENT MISSION

Exploratory. Just immerse and explore everything!

ABOUT ME

I am brand new to couch surfing but I have only heard good things so far. So I decided I am ready to try it!

I am 25 years old working in Toronto, Canada. My passion is to make a difference in the world, in particular through innovation through sustainability. Luckily, I am working in a field I care about - sustainability. During the day I work to develop sustainable forestry standards and run a carbon trading system. During my other times I enjoy basketball, golfing, windsurfing and going to concerts of all kinds.

Traveling is something that I love and wish I could only do more! It is the best use of time and money. I never had a lot of time to travel due to school and work (school got to be paid right??) but I have been able to travel to Austria, Spain, Czech Republic, Finland (kind of), Germany, Italy, Guatemala, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan and the US.

I am currently in transition state of my life where after 2.5 years after graduation, I want to explore more about the world, more about my own city, meet new people, and just take advantage of this wonderful time of my life. I hope CS can be part of it!

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life to make a difference. My greatest fear is to be at the tail end of my life and look back and realize I didn't contribute to society. This is why I wish to seize everyday and explore, be open to new ideas, experiences and people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am planning a trip to San Francisco at the end of November (Thanksgiving weekend) and I want to give Couch Surfing a try then.

I am moving out of my parent's home in a few months so once I settle in I would love to host!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Unfortunately none! I live in hostels whenever I travel but I really want to try Couch Surfing.
