Hi! My name is Kyela and I’m currently working in Toronto for a non-profit advocating systemic change to mining industry practices regarding mine relationships with local communities.
I've worked on retreat centres and farms around the world and thoroughly enjoy myself every time. I am a trained classical singer (but am currently in a jazz phase) and play a bit of guitar as well! I value kindness and compassion, curiosity and commitment to learning.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm in a major adventure phase and nothing beats meeting new people with different walks of life and learning from them! I hope to explore this beautiful country I was privileged to be born in and couch surfing is the answer to my financially-restricted dreams! I love this idea and I can't wait to host people myself one day.
