ABOUT ME
I am an optimist. I love new adventures, and being active.
I am an easygoing, fun loving, happy Canadian.
I lived and worked all over the world and now I work downtown Toronto in technology .
I like to laugh and learn to things, and I like to make new relationships.
I am a dreamer, with my head in the clouds more often than not and I take time to smell the flowers.
PHILOSOPHY

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I have been involved in CS since I started travelling, and I participate by surfing and getting involved in the different CS communities where I live.
I'm happy to host, guest must be kind and respectful, meaning clean up after yourself and me mindful of my neighbours.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have couchsurfed in many cities all over Europe (Western, Central and Eastern) as well as Latin America! It is an amazing way to travel and really understand the culture and meet some awesome people!
I have build long lasting friendships with people who I have CSed with. I regularly send mail goodies and post cards to friends in Colombia and Brazil. So if I like you and think your rad you will here from me for the years to come.
Interests
I like a lot of things. Stuff mostly. But more specifically I like fashion (I am a fashion designer in Canada) and art. I am a big fan of poems and literature, Borges may be my favourite (although at times I feel he complexes me).
I am into adventures, being outdoors, and overcoming new challenges.
I also love making new friends and keeping up with old ones.

Music, Movies, and Books
foreign movie and music. classic movies. pretty much anything, as long as it isn't filled with blood and violence.
i am a big poetry fan, also i like reading economic books. not much of a novel reader.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
When I was 21 I went by myself to Venezuela, Brazil and Colombia. I mooseyed down the Amazon river in a boat for 4 days, the stars were unreal.
I have worked with small coffee farming cooperatives and helped them build relationships with small Canadian coffee importers. It was cool to become friends with the people I was helping out. Also learned a lot about coffee!
I have a huge family, (like over 70 on each side), and I think its pretty amazing that I have stayed so close to many of them even with my travelling sack.
Teach, Learn, Share
I really wanna learn the nitty griddy bits and pieces of a culture. I can share my cultural experiences and lessons and am always open to hear a good story!
