About Me

Hi there! I'm a 22 year-old, outdoor loving, boardgame playing, food crazy, easy going, down to earth, Canadian engineer in training. Having lived in Toronto for pretty much all of my life, I'm looking to fly out of the nest a little. But if you're ever stopping by the wonderful city of Toronto, be sure to say hello!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The exchange of hospitality has been a human tradition spanning across different countries, cultures, time and space. I think to be able to trust, and to have trust placed in by a complete stranger is one of the most human experiences we could share. As a fellow inhabitant of this planet, I'd like to do my part to keep this wonderful tradition alive.

Of course that and meeting cool people, experiencing new cultures, and saving a couple of bucks...

Interests

I like:
-eating
-hiking, canoeing, camping
-snowboarding
-music
-reading long-ass fantasy novels
-knitting
-board games (favourites: Agricola, 7 Wonders, One Night Ultimate Werewolf)
-cooking, baking (however I don't like eating what I bake, to the delight/horror of my roommate)
-falling asleep to the sound of rain splattering on tents
-waking up in new places and wondering for a brief second "where the hell am I?"

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to play the ukulele (super easy) and knit (not as easy). I'd love to exchange recipes as well.

Si tu connais français, je voudrais te parler pour pratiquer!
