About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Well I'd like to get a chance to travel all over the place before I make my mind up as to where I will settle down. It will most inevitably be Canada. It's a great place.

ABOUT ME

I currently live near High Park in Toronto.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host people as often as humanly possible.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I signed up for CouchSurfing while in South Korea but did not have one request!
It wasn't until I moved to the capital of Albania that I was bombarded with requests.
The first couple from the US Jessica and Andrew.
Alper from Turkey
Simon from Van City and his bike
gang Jon and Duncan from UK
Eli the Rabbi and Jacob from Israel but
now lives in St. Catherines.
Ania (Poland) and Fred (Portugal)
Brodie from my second home of Thunder Bay!
David from Portugal.
Joe 'who's that tall guy' from UK.
Magda and her two friends from Poland
who I unfortunately did not meet....
you'll need to speak with Jeff.
The lovely, generous, and fun to
be around Patrice and Jean-Louis from France.
Radu (Romania) and Esther (Denmark) the second couple that we've met throught the couch surfing system.
Aryn from the US.

I did a WWOOFing trip to the west coast of Canada when I was eighteen. Met a load of cool people and got a chance to work on organic farms.
I also went on a biking trip to Vancouver Island with my friend Chelsey just two years ago and we met a man from Italy who was on the same route as us and who had at a time biked from Alaska to Argentina! Nuts. Anyway, he had a friend on the coast and we ended up staying with them having great conversation and meeting new people.
