Hi there!

My name's Leah and I'm a design student from Toronto. I previously spent a year on exchange at the Bauhaus-Universität in Weimar where I spent most of my break travelling around Europe and staying with lovely people on Couchsurfing!

Now I'm looking to return the pleasure by hosting travellers at my vegan housing co-op in Toronto.

I love going out to parties and meeting new people but I also enjoy exploring alone, wandering around quiet museums and drawing in the park. And I always appreciate a good sense of humour

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet open-minded people with similar or extremely dissimilar interests.

Learning about each person's dreams and worldviews.

So far, my couch surfing experience has been amazing. I've gotten to stay with wonderful people in London, Glasgow, Shanghai, Berlin, Leipzig, Frankfurt, Paris, Lyon, Lisbon, and Amsterdam.

I've also gotten to host amazing surfers, showing them around town or inviting them to get-togethers whenever I have time :)
