Hi! My name is Declan and I'm a Canadian student from Toronto. I am taking a year off before starting university to travel and experience the world.

I have a love of music (Keith Jarrett is my paino idol), nature (the ocean is my favorite place) and conversation (with anybody about anything) - and I hope that travel will help me find all three.

I travel light and follow the motto "if not now when" to encourage myself to engage in every experience.

Hope to see you on the road!

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I am couch surfing to meet the coolest locals while I travel the world! I believe that a community such as this one offers the best opportunities to connect with others and improve my travelling experience.

Centres d'intérêt

I have been doing photography for two years... and sold a grand total of 1 photo! But it, and playing jazz piano are the art forms that I find myself impassioned by.

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

I have a big, varied music collection: every genre, every time period. I love it all, Bach to Beyonce. I read voraciously and prefer a good novel to any other reading material. My favorite reads include The Confabulist (S. Galloway) and the Book of Negros (L. Hill).

I paddled in both oceans before my 18th birthday!
