***I’m here to make friends, find other travelers, host and be hosted - I have NO INTEREST in being flirted with or finding romance or hooking up. DO NOT message me if that’s your goal.***

Hi all,

I'm a traveler who likes to meet new people and try new things. I love food, especially trying specialty dishes from different areas. I love experiencing new cultures and I'm very open minded!

I'm living in Toronto as a student, but I’d like to host and if I have time I’m happy to show you around. I used to live in Japan for 2 years teaching English, and have only recently moved back to Canada. So I’m kind of new to Toronto as well!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Signed up when I did a trip to Australia for two weeks and had such a great experience with really honest and kind hosts that I want to continue to pay it forward! If I can help a traveler in need feel at home and save some money I will :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swam with whale sharks in the open ocean in Donsol, Philippines. Massive, beautiful creatures. They'll swim right towards you with their huge mouths open! They aren't bothered by you at all though - to them you're just big useless fish that doesn't swim that well. It's really incredible.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'll make breakfast! And I'm very tidy and respectful. If you need anything from me you can just ask :)
