Hello!

I am a former student at U of T, studying political science and criminology. Currently living in Guelph ON.

"Not all who wander are lost" is a line that speaks to me. I enjoy travelling and experiencing new things. I'm very open minded and I live to explore the world, the mind, the heart.

My hobbies include drumming, chess, and the martial arts. I like crafting things from wood or crystal, wire jewelry, origami, and crafts of all kinds. I enjoy cooking and making excellent products with simple items, whether that be in the kitchen or in the workshop.

I like meeting new and interesting people, who have unique insights , strange stories, bizarre experiences, and uncommon talents.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am new to couch surfing, it was recommended to me by a friend and seemed like something that totally fits my lifestyle.

I'm largely an introvert, but I enjoy getting to know people on a one on one basis and learning deep and interesting things about a person. I very much like hearing stories, and enjoy listening to the tales people have to tell. I'm not without my own stories, but I enjoy listening. I also like to learn from people and their various skills. Can you sew? Play the flute? Software coding? Build a shelter? Calculus? These are things on my to-do list. The more obscure the better!

I have some extra space in my current living arrangement, so it seems a natural fit to offer my couch to those of you passing through my area. Come share your stories and your skills !

Playing drums for large crowds, teaching groups of people, and lots of physical training.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teaching, learning, and sharing are some of my favourite things. I would gladly share my knowledge in any of the subjects I am familiar with, which I have listed in "My Interests"

Would also love to learn from you!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Friendly vibes and good company — would love to hear your story, play music, explore or create something with you.

I usually leave origami flowers or animals at places I've been. Maybe I could help decorate your home !

I also tend to have a lot of energy, so if something needs work around the house, I would be glad to do it. In fact, I might not be able to relax if I don't!
