I am from Toronto and just finished my undergraduate studies! I will be working in Toronto come September.

I find a lot of reward living in the present. Little things such as spending quality time with my friends, a good meal, and meeting new people. I am curious and quite open-minded but I've been told I'm extremely down to earth in my approach as well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Every time I have traveled, my favorite part was being able to share the experience with others, whether it's friends from back home or people I just met. I don't know what it is with traveling, but I find some of my deepest connections and best conversations have been with those who I've crossed paths with on my travels/their travels. I truly believe in couchsurfing and the platform it gives us to connect with people around the world. My first couchsurfing experience was in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam and was by far one of the highlights of that trip.

It is also a blessing to be able to experience a city or a culture through the eyes of someone who experiences it on a day-to-day basis and I would love to give this experience to fellow travelers. Unfortunately, I don't have an apartment on my own so hosting is a no-go for me, but I can't wait to open up my place once I get it!

Interests

I enjoy keeping active through sports and fitness, keeping my health a top priority. I also like to dabble into photography, recently having bought myself a 35mm film camera to play with.
