CURRENT MISSION

To gain wisdom.

ABOUT ME

I am currently working in Toronto as an assistant director/producer/production assistant in various film and TV projects.
I am also trying to take time off to work on personal projects which has been wonderful :).

PHILOSOPHY

"Gratitude means to take nothing for granted, but to always seek out and value the kind that will stand behind the action. Nothing that is done from you is a matter of course. Everything originates in a will for the good, which is directed from you. Train yourself never to put off the word or action for the expression of gratitude."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to help people out when they are in Toronto if possible. I have been living with my boyfriend for over a year and we've just moved to a place and are very happy that (though small) our place has a couch so we can host!
Andrew has recently been introduced to traveling and loves the idea of giving forward and showing the kindness we've been met with on travels.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had some phenomenal surfing experiences while solo backpacking across Europe in 2009. Since then I've hosted a few people, shown some people Toronto and even met up with a couchsurfer I hosted here halfway around the world in Bangkok years later!

Michelle:
At this point I've traveled to 23 countries, 19 of them solo, and can truly say every place I've been to has inspired some kind of wonder for me.

Andrew:
I feel like I can answer this a lot better in a week :) *work in progress*

Teach, Learn, Share

Michelle:
I'm working on an e-commerce business, improving myself in film, and looking into real estate.
