About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To meet awesome people, go to awesome places and do awesome things.

ABOUT ME

I'm a super open-minded, kind of weird, a little bit awkward person who loves making new friends. I'm loud, laugh a lot and have a hard time taking most things seriously. I am easy going, excitable and tend to be overly enthusiastic about most things. But I'm also dependable and practical and really good at on-the-spot problem solving - so if your shoe breaks and all we can find is a safety pin and some dental floss, I've got you covered.

I haven't traveled much, but it's something that I'd really like to start doing more of.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Attending couch surfing events or meeting up with Toronto-bound surfers for a hangout or party fun.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have met and hosted couch surfers in Toronto - always a positive experience.

Interests

camping, hiking, cooking, eating vegan food, exploring parts of the city I've never been before (and those that I've been many times, but finding something new), dance parties (in the street, at a live show, in my living room, anywhere), biking, paddling, chilling on the beach, going to live shows (punk, metal, indie rock, anything really), trying something new

Music, Movies, and Books

I like anything by douglas adams, jeanette winterson or evelyn waugh and most things by margaret atwood.

music wise I have a very very wide range of taste. I like pretty much anything, or am at least willing to give anything a couple of tries.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The iceberg lagoon in Iceland will always have a special place in my heart.

And hiking up the chief in squamish definitely taught me a lot about myself and what I am capable of.

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't really require you to offer me anything. I like meeting new people and exploring my city with them. If you want to teach me the secret to making gluten-free vegan danishes or meringues...well, I won't say no to that!

I am always happy to share my skills and knowledge with people. I can teach you about vegan and/or gluten-free cooking and baking, I can help you optimize your health through nutrition, I can help you promote your band or skills or anything else you may be peddling, I have subpar sewing skills that I am happy to pass on, and I can totally proofread your essays.

Countries I’ve Visited
