CURRENT MISSION

Live life through another perspective that isnt my own.

ABOUT ME

I like to take the piss out of things, and fight societies addiction to seriousness. Whether its through storytelling or laughing, I love to connect with perfect strangers, and be willing to move on with my life without knowing if I will ever see them again.

PHILOSOPHY

"You Must Have Chaos Beneath You To GIve Birth To A Dancing Star." - Neitzche

"All I ask of you is one thing: please don’t be cynical. I hate cynicism — it’s my least favorite quality and it doesn’t lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard, and you’re kind, amazing things will happen" - Conan O'Brien

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I am not in the position to host. But I am in the position to be an ally, a friend, and show you around the city I spent 23 years of my life in. I've seen/lived/worked in the best of neighbourhoods and roughest of neighbourhoods and I feel like I could share some insight into what the city of Toronto truly has to offer for all people. Not just tourists who are here for the CN Tower and hockey (which is still pretty cool if you ask me).

Let's be real here, if someone plays any song with a beautiful melody I will sing to it like my life depended on it. From Beyonce to Billy Joel. From Lynard Skynard to Lana Del Rey.
