I live downtown Toronto, and own a black cat named Björk (she's even got her own Instagram account. Instagram.com/bjorklechat). I work for Starbucks as a shift supervisor and have been working there for 13 years. When I'm not serving coffee and making people's days, I enjoy riding my bike, knitting, cooking, reading, and enjoying craft beers. I recently went to the Vermont beer festival, and it was such a great experience! I'm currently taking French courses because I want to live in a French speaking city. I often travel to Montreal, and have visited France a handful of times! It's my favourite country to visit.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A good friend of mine, Alyssa, told me about her experience with Couchsurfing when she travelled to San Francisco. I think it's such an amazing idea to meet new people and find out about travel adventures!

Interests

I love cycling. If I visit a city, my goal is to bike, even if it's for a short distance. I've biked in Toronto, Paris, London UK, Strasbourg, Colmar, Obernai, Riqwheir, Colchester trailway in Vermont. Places I still want to bike: Montreal, Brussels to Amsterdam, New York City, Chicago, Bordeaux, Iceland...

Music, Movies, and Books

Björk is my favourite singer, I also really enjoy listening to Drum and Bass, Pop, Indie Rock, and Vocal Jazz.
My current literature craving at the moment is reading books on historical fiction about WWII.
