About Me

CURRENT MISSION

helping others realize their dreams

ABOUT ME

Born and raised in Canada and currently a resident of Toronto, Ontario. I'm interested in seeing the world and meeting fun and interesting people!

Professionally, I worked as a front line youth worker for several years and now I am a digital media manager for a youth-focused nonprofit and it's a lot of fun. I enjoy cycling and exploring the world. I also like food. A lot.

PHILOSOPHY

There are no great things in this world, just small things done with great love. (Mother Theresa)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted and have been hosted around the world!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I once CouchSurfed with Sam in Boulder and within a hour of dropping off my stuff, we were jumping off a cliff into a lake. It was pretty wild.

I met another CouchSurfer in California who generously permitted me to use his apartment for a week and showed me the sights and sounds of Hollywood and Rodeo Drive.
