I'm a freelance writer who has travelled a bit but these days I'm more settled in Toronto with my partner Johnny. I love the excitement and adventure of travel and can get along with most people, love learning new things and cultures. But I especially feel warm and inspired by certain traditions and oldie things.

I enjoy cooking, exploring nature, watching tv and movies, drinking wine, dancing at fun raves, working out (sometimes), saunas, comforting people if they need it.

Born and raised in Toronto, but of Greek and Portuguese descent. Proud of both but especially the Greek. Love learning about different cultures, fell in love with Mexico recently and stayed a few months.

I'm a writer and part time dog groomer as well.

I feel like I'm dynamic and adapt with other peoples personalities sometimes -- not in a way that's inauthentic but in a way that takes in certain details and characteristics and finding common ground in similarities to establish comfort.

I try to be a good person.

While I have many opinions about life I am happy to learn other perspectives and have mine challenged.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like connecting with people; experiencing travel through people; offering comfort and care when I can; learning new perspectives; budget travel
