Overview
About Me
From Toronto, Canada. Artist and musician (guitar, cello.) Queer, vegetarian. Love to sing, go out dancing, stay home and read, and love to TALK about anything. Feminist, and anti-oppression.
I'm a freelance illustrator, and silk screen artist. Musician in some bands (mostly electric guitar right now) and teach guitar at Toronto Girls Rock Camp.
I've been living in Toronto for about a year. I'm having a nice time exploring it, I'd love to show anyone my favourite places, or discover new ones together.
I've hosted CS guests in the past, when I used to live in a big house but haven't in 5 or 6 years.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
To meet some weirdos and stay outta hotels! I'm super friendly and personable and can keep a conversation going but I'm also pro at comfortable silences.
