CURRENT MISSION

Survive law school, go out and travel before that desk job gobbles me up.

ABOUT ME

I'm 25 years old and like most people here have an all-consuming travel addiction! I was born and raised just outside of Toronto, and completed by undergraduate at Montreal's McGill University in La belle province!

Moved back to Toronto, my hometown in 2012 and have been really enjoying the cultural and food scene.

PHILOSOPHY

I want to explore, be creative, curious, and open. I want to learn as many things I can from as many people as I can, because the things that have stuck with me the most are specific conversations I've had with friends and strangers alike. My goal is to leave the world better than I found it, if only slightly--and maybe that means doing it through every small interaction I have with others.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Canadians often forget that our home is beautiful and contains a variety of breathtaking landscapes as well! The most amazing thing I've done is stood at the very top of Grouse Mountain in BC, alone in my thoughts and yet sharing the moment with a stranger standing two feet away. Then it started raining a perfectly light summer rain, and we both stood there completely still, unflinching, holding it there and refusing to let go. Standing there, taking in the mountain air and the expansive scenery in front of me is the most beautiful thing I've witnessed to date.
Not to mention I made a great friend out of it, though it wasn't until a year and a half later that we brought up Grouse Mountain and how amazing that shared connection was.
