I grew up in Winnipeg, MB and moved to Toronto, ON to pursue my post-secondary degree. I went to Ryerson University in Downtown Toronto and played varsity Basketball for 5 years throughout my studies. I have completed my BA in Criminology and my Master's in Public Policy & Administration. I currently work with the Provincial Government of Ontario. In my spare time I like to go to the gym, visit funky new restaurants, and making sure that I have kept up to date on all of my Netflix indulgences!

I have Caribbean roots, as my mother is from Barbados and my father is from Jamaica. I am one of 4 children, and as such, I enjoy being around lots of company!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hello! My name is Kenesha, I am 23 years old and I am from Toronto. I am a lover of good food, travelling, sports, and fun company. I am a Criminology and Public Policy and Administration major, but more importantly, I know the lyrics to almost any rap song that you can think of! I will be spending the next 3 weeks in Europe to cap off Summer 2017 with one of my closest friends from Paris who I met while studying in London. I am looking forward to meeting new people, experiencing new cultures and creating hilarious memories that will last a lifetime!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Because I am deathly terrified of snakes, I made it a mission to hold a python snake on my neck. I was literally shaking while this was happening, but I am very glad I did it.

Teach, Learn, Share

Because I am an avid basketball player, I know some good basketball tricks! I would love to cook, so I would be very interested in learning recipes of my hosts' favourite dishes. I want to be able to share good drinks and good food over good conversation while I am travelling :)
