I'm a traveler turned into a serial entrepreneur. Currently not accepting people but reach out to me on instagram if you're in Toronto: https://www.instagram.com/phil_cha/

You can also stop by my cafe for a chat www.riddleroom.ca
It's an escape room and game cafe. Toronto is the mecca of game cafes and escape rooms, so I put the two in the same place.

I'm also a movie producer so please check out my films!

Let me know if you want to come by for a coffee. I'll leave the rest of my sections the same from when I started CS and you'll see how it all started. The community was great to me when I was more active. Thanks!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I have a couch available it is open to those who need a place to crash. For the past few years I have been on the move, so it has been hard to host but I spread the word.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I went to a party and met some wonderful people in Seoul. Then I went to New Orleans to build some houses and slept on my very first CS couch! Good times.

I've also hosted dozens of bboys from around the world!

NON-CS I've slept on many couches and many people have slept on mine. Most high school and university friends.

Teach, Learn, Share

Traveling alone is one of the best things you can ever do. Yes it CAN be dangerous and scary but c’est la vie. It’s when we leave our friends, family, TV and everything else that tells us who to be that we are free to know who we are. It’s when we leave our fridge, couch :P, home and everything else that makes us comfortable that we are free to find out what we can do. Travel is the best education I’ve ever had.
