CURRENT MISSION

I live to Eat, Sleep, Run, Make and Enjoy Music, Bike, and Meet people

ABOUT ME

I work hard and play hard. I'm energetic, adventurous, and love exploring new places and getting to know new people.

I'm planning to ride my bike from Vancouver to Calgary this upcoming summer, and can't wait to have some new adventures and meet some new people. I'm excited to explore more of my amazing country and to see where I was born (which I haven't been to since I was a toddler).

PHILOSOPHY

Respect people. Do good work. Be true to yourself. Fulfill your potential. And be grateful for what you have.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just started CS in summer 2010. Stayed with 3 awesome hosts. Hope to start hosting people now that I'm in my own place in Toronto.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I went on a trip from Chicago to Toronto in 2010. I stayed with 3 different hosts, and they were all wonderful. Now that I'm in my own place with my boyfriend (who came on my trip in 2010), we're excited to start hosting people. I can't think of many better ways to get to know awesome people that you wouldn't normally get the chance to interact with.

Interests

Running, cycling, playing frisbee.

Finding new bands, going to concerts, exploring new places, discovering new parts of Toronto.

Meeting new people, learning about different cultures, understanding people's struggles.
