About Me

Hard working, fun loving guy who is always open to try new experiences. Currently I am working in Toronto, Ontario as an English teacher at a private high school. I have some experience in the field of education, so if you need tips on professional/personal development, how to best learn a language, or are up for an intense political debate than look no further

For me human relations are an integral part of human life. If we dont take the opportunity to talk to and understand others, than we will miss out on getting to know ourselves as we will not know what we are socially capable of and we will also miss out on important formative experiences. When I dont think I have a lot in common with a person, I make it a point to center the conversation around them so as to discover what their interests are and how we can learn from eachother.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Since I dont know anyone in France, I am hoping to use couchsurfing to find fun places to stay and make new friends. Im really excited about the possibility of meeting new people through couchsurfing. Lets hope this goes well
