About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Canoe my way to someplace cool

ABOUT ME

A relative newbie to Toronto. I moved here in the Summer of 2010, so what I lack in knowledge of all the great places to go in the city, I make up for in a desire to explore and find them.

I'm a nomad. I rarely stay in the same place for a long period of time. I enjoy the outdoors, specifically anything involving water. If I could live on a canoe, I would. I'd probably also save a lot of money on rent that way, although winter would suck.

PHILOSOPHY

I need to live for a thousand years to be able to do everything I want to do.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I offer a couch! I'm also keen for random excursions, coffee/drinks/hangouts, you name it. I enjoy meeting new people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm a newbie to this too.

Interests

I'm a huge fan of books, and as previously stated anything to do with water. I try to make a point of living near it, just so I can go swimming, or anything possible near it.
