CURRENT MISSION

To see and do as much stuff as possible before I die - and meet interesting people along the way.

ABOUT ME

My name is Mary-Kathleen, and I currently work for a non-profit, and live near High Park in Toronto.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can currently meet up with people for a coffee or a tour around the area. I've hosted in the past and have had some great experiences!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met some amazing people so far by hosting, and hope to one day surf!

Interests

I love outdoorsy stuff like camping, hiking, canoeing etc. I also enjoy volunteering, museuming, art, travelling around, and meeting new people. My ideal afternoon involves a good pub (or coffee shop), and great conversation. And I love live music!
