About Me

I have decided to quit my job as a cocktail bartender in one of Toronto's top restaurants and abandon the room in my apartment in search of adventure, delicious local food, and cultural experiences. Beyond finding hosts I am looking to connect with locals who have similar interests to me. I'm creating a youtube show that connects travelers and the establishments, cultural events and adventures that are commonly reserved for locals only. I look forward to learning about local dishes and exploring food markets as well as enjoying a nice bottle of local wine, good company, local food or the rice wine/plum brandy that your grandfather makes in a bathtub. Although I am new to Couchsurfing I have been hosting guests in our apartment for nearly a year on airbnb. I'm not afraid to take out a garbage, help with laundry and organizing, cooking, cleaning and generally enhancing your living experience. I also do not use half a roll of toilet paper per day nor do I attempt to spend half of my time locked in your single bathroom! I look forward to meeting you. :)

Interests

I love healthy eating, playing and listening to music, walking and exploring the areas that tourists don't reach, learning about new cultures and meeting people. Photography and video production.
