About Me

Hello friend 🤗

I was born in Toronto, Canada, but I haven't lived there for over 15 years.

I tried to settle down once, but it really didn't suit my character, so now I consider myself nomadic, moving from place to place every few weeks or months.

Currently, I'm backpacking in Egypt. Soon, I'll head to Oman, then India, and maybe Nepal if my budget allows. That should keep me busy until spring 2026 at which point I'll probably head back to Europe to work the summer season... hopefully as a barista since I am a big coffee nerd 🤓

I am looking forward to meeting you along the way 💫

📖 Non-Violent Communication by Marshal B. Rosenberg
📖 Cosmos by Carl Sagan
📖 Mutant Message Down Under by Marlo Morgan
📖 The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle
📖 Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer

I can also recommend anything written by Ayan Hirsi Ali, Yuval Harari, Malcolm Gladwell, Michael Pollan, Katy Bowman, and Jared Diamond.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

What I Can Share with Hosts

My Couchsurfing hosts can look forward to my sense of humour and inquisitive disposition. I love to go for walks, cook vegan food, and I am happy to help out my host in any way I can. If you want to practice your English, French, or Spanish I would love to be your conversation partner. I am responsible, trustworthy, and will treat you and your home with the highest respect and gratitude 🙏

Om Shanti~
