About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To run with the bulls in Spain after travelling Europe for 5.5months. Swapping stories and laughs while learning about different cultures.

ABOUT ME

Well, I'm currently finishing off the end of my 5.5 month journey around Europe. I'm 22 and I decided last year to take a year off before my third year studies to go find if Prague truly has the best beer and how many camels I could fetch on the black market in Morocco. It's been an amazing experience, I've stayed with fellow travellers throughout my trip, but I've also stayed in alot of hostels. I study Theatre Acting back home, so in a few years I will be a fully-certified waiter in a family resturant. I enjoy meeting other people and laughing late into the night. Ready to do anything, whether it just be a glass of wine or going out to a bar and staying out all night.

PHILOSOPHY

"To each his own."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm currently travelling but when I get back home and get my own place I will be taking in people in Toronto.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Does sleeping in train or bus stations count? I gather no, but who hasn't slept in one of those? Aren't those the most uncomfortable seats in the world? I've stayed on couches in Dublin, Barcelona and London with friends I met while volunteering in Spain.
