Just your average Canadian that loves backpacking, exploring culture, and meeting people that spread peace and positivity. Oh yeah, and I absolutely love the mountains!!

I used to study in Upper Normandy in France and that's where my admiration for travelling Europe began.

Now that I've caught the travel bug, I take 1 big trip every year to get away from my busy full-time job :) I work in technology consulting at a firm in Toronto.

Something interesting about me is that i am sort of a 'jack of all trades.' I have a LOT of different hobbies and often like to learn new things. An example of this are the languages I speak.. while i am fluent in English, I am indermediate in French and Hindi, and beginner in German.. i just really enjoy getting to know a bit of everything!

All of the German ive learnt is from friends, travel, and German music such as Cro and AnnenMayKanterreit. #Integration!!

Favourite places travelled to: Bohinj/Triglav, Slovenia. Innsbruck, Austria. Lake Garda, Italy. Montreal, Canada

Ive also just started living my life as a minimalist. Ask me to find out more about the concept/lifestyle if you aren't aware of it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

-I love having company, I do travel alone so Couch surfing is a great way for me to still be surrounded by great people.

I've also been living in Toronto for the majority of my life and weekly host meetups with people visiting the city and show them around to my favourite 'unknown' spots. This way i feel like I'm travelling, but in my own city
