“I saw myself sitting in the crotch of this fig tree, starving to death, just because I couldn't make up my mind which of the figs I would choose. I wanted each and every one of them, but choosing one meant losing all the rest, and, as I sat there, unable to decide, the figs began to wrinkle and go black, and, one by one, they plopped to the ground at my feet.”

I am a creative and easy going person with a curiosity for different cultures and food.
I'm open minded and enjoy meeting new people, especially those who love laughing and have a good sense of humour. Passion and creativity is infectious, so surround yourself with it and live a magical life :)

I have a penchant for creating, nature, cycling, languages and infinite curiosity for exploring the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing has always led me to interesting people whose kindness restores a little faith in humanity and leaves you with a trail of friends all over the world. You get to experience places through a locals eyes and learn new cultures. I'm looking forward to spinning some yarns with some interesting people :)

I've lived in Toronto for a few years so would be happy to help in any way that I can with your visit. You can find my boyfriend's profile under Wil Benson.

We tend to host on warmshowers more but send me a message and I'll do what I can to make your stay in the city a good'un!
