About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Find my most favourite place in the world

ABOUT ME

PLEASE READ MY PROFILE IN FULL BEFORE MESSAGING, THANK YOU!!!

I used to share my profile with my sister but she has accepted a job in Edmonton so we thought it was time to split. But if you see references for the both of us, that's why.

I'm currently working just outside of Toronto in a 9-5 job. I get 3 weeks of vacation a year and I try to use them to the fullest--it's not enough! My routine life in Toronto consists of dining out, going to the movies, riding my bike around the city (summer) or skiing/trying snowboarding (winter). I live with my partner who I'm slowly easing into the CS community. =D Bear with him!

PHILOSOPHY

Everyone gets their come-uppins.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My first experience was in Europe where my sister and I had GREAT hosts in Heidelberg, Berlin, Paris and Reykjavik. Since then, I've not only continued to surf but I've also been able to host. It's an amazing community and I only hope that it continues to grow so that the world can shrink.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

First time ever: sleeping on a comfy fold-out mattress in Heidelberg, Germany. AWESOME!

How couchsurfing saved our butts: My sister and I got to Paris with no place to stay. Found an internet cafe, emailed some surfers, got a call a few hours later--we had a bed! All hail Couchsurfing! (Thanks Jeremy!)

Interests

Running, golfing, diving, skiing, reading, basket-ball, movies, musicals. Oh! Let's not forget EATING! I just love trying new things in general.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: The Time Traveler's Wife, Good to Great, Life of Pi; Fast Food Nation; The Millenium Series
Currently reading: Need a recommendation!
Movies: Resident Evil 1/2/3 and...The Notebook. I like it all.
Music: Fun, catchy danceable stuff. I don't have the mental capacity to remember song titles and artists despite how famous something is unless it's on the CURRENT top 40 list. (Even then, it's a gamble.)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done


I got to bottle feed a baby tiger. So cute. His paw was the size of my head!
