Back on CS after a bit of a break due to COVID, I notice the community is dead, but I'm here! I'm active in the local CS group in Toronto which has become a language exchange. I'm not your typical Canadian- I don't constantly apologize, and I don't fit the stereotype of being overly nice- so if you're hoping for that...I am NOT sorry :D, I'm from Quebec-we aren't like regular Canadians. My mother is Macedonian and my father is Irish and adopted by French Canadians so I know a little something about having askew DNA. I like a combo of off the beaten path and alternative stuff with a hint of luxury. I hate current music. I don't know celebrities. Pretend I'm a 60 year old man. I can definitely introduce you to some weird music/movies if that's your vibe. Yes, I do have red hair- no the fire engine colour is not natural. Let me hook you up with some yoga. No, I'm not 82, you don't need all my real info, perv.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I need to be pushed and challenged and like to do it to others. I have ADHD (not self diagnosed) so sometimes the choices seem way too much while travelling for my tiny head and I love listening to others advice. I'm not here to use your house- I like to hang out- that is if you aren't too busy. Quality over quantity with me, I would rather connect to a few people intimately than hang out in huge groups of people I'll forget.

Interests

Underground scenes
weights/yoga/any working out/acro yoga slackline etc
luxury travel stuff- I'm very crafty at getting good deals
animals- I am a dog boarder so there may be a dog in my house if you come to stay- it pays the bills so it takes precedence over visitors.
I'm good at imitating accents but I hear that's wrong. Don't hit me up if you don't want me o make fun of you BONUS: you can do it to me tooooo
I'm funny, but I hate comedy clubs.

Music, Movies, and Books

A 60 year old man's record collection would be apt. If this were the 70's I'd honestly be the hippest person in the world, but it's not. So I'm not. I've seen Star Wars once, that makes me cool, right? Trust me, let me put on some weird stuff for you.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to China as an English teacher and came out a karaoke/lounge host. I went to Turkey not knowing where it is on a map and stayed 4 years.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm full of absolutely useless facts and some useful. I'm good company, I'm a good problem solver. I will take care of your pets.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My dazzling smile and charming personality. I'm helpful, I know where things are. In the future, maybe we can travel together as this has spawned a few opportunities for co-travel which I'm always looking for new travel buddies.
