ABOUT ME

I grew up in a tiny town (pop: 700), moved to a small city called Guelph for school and work in the environmental field, and recently moved to the big city of Toronto to pursue a career in acting, comedy, and writing. I love this big beautiful world of ours. I love meeting new people, sharing stories, trying new things, and having fun.

PHILOSOPHY

action is eloquence

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am currently living in Guelph, Ontario and would be happy to host visitors.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It's been wonderful. It began in 2008 with a couple people staying at my place, then in 2009 I traveled across Canada with a good friend of mine and we had the couch surfing experience of a lifetime. We were amazed by how incredible all the people were and what special connections we made.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am so grateful to anyone willing to host me in their home. I know that one's home is a sanctuary, and it is an honour to be welcomed in.

I will do everything I can to make my stay in hosts' homes smooth, positive, easy and enjoyable. I'm happy to wash dishes, take out the recycling/compost/garbage, help with any odd jobs around the house. I also love to make meals for people, share chats over coffee... And, for hosts who don't have much time, I'm also happy to just be a quiet guest who cleans up after myself.
