Moved to Toronto when I was 18. Love different cultures and meeting people from all backgrounds and exploring this world together :) I am an open-minded individual who likes to learn and grow. Every person in my life has a different perspective and I get to learn from their knowledge. I love teaching! Working with people (and kids, of course) I love the opportunity to share what I know and also learn from them in return!

I recently (May 2018) did Skydiving and it was a total game changer! Jumping from 12,500 ft sounds too scary. After the jump, it felt as if nothing is impossible. I want to go to Ecuador and swing on the swing at the end of the world. While, again, it sounds scary, I think, it will just make life experience a tad bit better.

I love to volunteer and have been volunteering with Meals on Wheels on the weekends where you get to deliver food to the elderly. It's a great way to start the weekend and be out and about.

One of the key things I value in my life is independence. One way I get to achieve this is by going on long road trips and just traveling, in general, in my car around Toronto. In a span of ten months, I have accumulated more than 20K km on my car and it feels like I haven't driven enough yet! My love for driving is so much so that I signed up as a driver for ride-sharing. This way I get to enjoy driving and talking to and learning from the riders at the same time! Toronto has a lot to offer and it's fair to say I have only scratched the surface in these eight years.

I did a road trip from Toronto to Halifax in summer 2018! I went with my girlfriend and visited Quebec, New Brunswick, and PEI before hitting Cape Breton Island and, eventually, Halifax. It was amazing! We covered more than 5000km by road and it was the best experience we had. The views on Cabot Trail in Cape Breton were breathtaking and the weather was perfect.

I will be visiting Costa Rica from March 29 to April 8, 2019!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I recently did Skydiving (May 2018)! It was a tandem jump and we jumped from 12,500 ft with one minute of freefall!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach my language, learn yours, and share Toronto's beauty.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Definitely my culture and my experiences. While I might not have a lot to add on to the plate I think the very fact of mingling with people from other cultures will naturally lead on to interesting adventures. Plus we can always go around downtown Toronto and I can show some of the cool places here.
