About Me

ABOUT ME

I am a Toronto native currently living in Berlin. I love meeting new people, telling stories and sharing adventures! Favourite things include:
+ tasty international foods - esp. Indian and Ethiopian fares
+ arts and crafting - I make jewellery occasionally and paint, poorly
+ finding secret mystical spots and portals to faery realms
+ growing food, living sustainably

PHILOSOPHY

"Go travel, see the sights, drink with friends, do day trips, meet new people, learn a language, find yourself, lose yourself, see the world, live your life."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am unable to host at this time as I am in the process of looking for a flat myself (Berlin life... *sigh*), but I am always happy to meet up for sekt by the Spree, table tennis, urban exploration, picnics, street art capers, nature escapes, scifi movies, costume parties and rhythmic flailing.

Cheap awesome city secrets I've discovered so far:

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Rescued at the last minute by a lovely CS family with a handsome cat in Portland, OR...
Stayed in a crumbling turn-of-the-century mansion with 20-something other travellers...
Spelunking in the Columbia River Valley with friendly strangers...
Memories of a lifetime! Thank you CS!!
