Hi! My name is Torrye. I work online managing fair trade programs across Canada, which allows me to travel and explore other parts of the world while I work. I live in Canada, on Vancouver Island, and love the outdoors, music, and cooking, along with another hundred things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to experience life through all different types of lenses. We all have something to offer and I'd like to share friendship, laughter, and some good stories with you, preferably over a cold beer : )

Music, Movies, and Books

My go-to artists: Lana del ray, frank, young thug, halsey. lorde, blackbear, travis scott, vince staples. Vic Mensa, Jazz Cartier, the weeknd (his old stuff), SZA, belly, sampha, Tyler the creator, cage the elephant, khalid - the list could go on and on.
Movies & books - I tend to binge watch garbage Netflix series, which leaves me feeling empty and guilty that i devoted that much of my life to a terrible cast/plot. But some of my favorite movies off the top of my head include: Step Brothers, Notorious, Erin Brockovich, Planet of the apes, all Batman...
Currently reading - A House in the Sky (its great), but I don't read as much as i'd like to.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I used to be a competitive gold panner

Teach, Learn, Share

I love cooking, and love sharing my passion by preparing a meal with a group of friends. I know a thing or two about the current inequalities and exploitation in our international trading systems, and am happy to share my knowledge. If there is a spin bike around, I am happy to lead a hip-hop spin work out. I practice yoga, and would love to learn more about the practice and share a mat with a new friend. I love sharing music with others, and love learning about new artists or genres. My mind is always hungry - new cultures, recipes, languages, useless facts, world records etc.
