I came back to Toronto a year and a half ago to finish my degree. I'll be leaving the country again in January.

I'm a recently retired competitive fencer (represented Canada at the 2015 World University Games). I also practice a South Indian martial art call kalari. This martial art is a type of moving mindfulness practice designed to strengthen and protect the body, like....combat yoga. The highest stage is said to be ‘when the body becomes all eyes’.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I know how nice it is when you're traveling to have a place to stay with locals and to get the inside scoop on parties.

I've never really used couchsurfing but I'll be traveling again soon and you never know when you might need a couch to crash on. I figure this is a good way to win the favour of the couchsurfing gods ahead of time, or at least get some +references. And of course meet some cool people! :)
