About Me

Hey there!

I'm 21 years old, and entering my fourth year at the University of Toronto, where I study commerce and other things. This summer I am travelling to Europe for my first time, all alone!

Some of the things I am most passionate about: Pop-Culture Critique, Music , Dancing, Film/TV , Philosophy of Mind, Ethics, Scientific Literacy, and the Future of Humanity.

I tend to spend my extra time watching my favorite shows (the list always changes), reading, and frequenting proper dance music clubs.

I am very open minded and love nothing more then diving into conversations and seeing where they go. I'm pretty low-key, polite, and don't like to make a scene :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couch surfing allows one to meet a nice local, and to really be immersed in the home city's culture - something that hostels can sometimes lack. I want to learn from people who are knowledgeable about their culture. Plus, what a better way to meet friends!

Books: I'm a huge sucker for old science fiction (50s-70s) and can list you loads of my favorite authors :) Also a big fan of existentialist literature, science based non-fictions, and philosophy

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

Appreciate beauty when you see it, and double down on what you enjoy doing! Besides food and shelter, the people you engage with affects you the most throughout your life, so make sure to be around people that bring out the best in you!

I'm a quiet, well mannered young man who knows how to not take up a lot of space.
