Hello there! :)

My name is Hurly. In 2013, I quit my job as a community/social worker to travel around the world. I have travelled to more or less 70 countries since then - working, volunteering and travelling everywhere. Now after many years of travelling, I'm back in Toronto.

It's a cliché to say this but travelling really has been such an enriching, life changing experience for me. To have the opportunity to think and reflect, to unlearn and relearn the social conditioning and behaviours, to know different stories and to experience and see different perspectives and to share. I think life is a constant development and change which requires movement beyond comfort zones. In that process, I am able to enjoy the life as it is - an adventure and a constant process of learning and changing.

Anyway, if you have any questions or wanna reach out, feel free to message. It would be great to hear from you. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
