Me?? I'm a good natured fun lovin' Canadian who loves drawing, art and meeting new kinds of people. I'm setting off to Japan for the first time and I'm looking forward to being thoroughly culture shocked and delighted by the people, food and incredible landscapes of Japan.

I work as a freelance illustrator and matte painter for a visual effects company in Toronto. Hoping to take the art business on the go and expand my horizons beyond Toronto.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A Wonderful and intimate way of meeting new people, particularly locals of the area I'm travelling in. Love getting to know new people and this seems like a wonderful community to share in.

Music, Movies, and Books

Far too many to list, I'm a bit obsessive about these sorta things
Last film I saw that I loved was Sicario
Muzak tastes are all over the place but I love psychedelic stuff, slow melodic bummed out tunes, cinematic electronic beeps and boops.
Been on a Haruki Murakami kick - feeding my desire to explore Japan. Favourite author is probably Cormac McCarthy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Got second place in a pie eating contest at the age of 14 and blew blueberries out of my nose.
