About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to meet great people from all different parts of the world. And feel like a local in foreign places, and a traveler in my own city.

ABOUT ME
I am 40 and I am an actor, musician and photographer based in Toronto. I love to travel and meet new people. I'm very extroverted and love to tell stories and deep dive into why we all are the way we are. It's been a few years since i've couchsurfed, work and covid prevented me from traveling for a little while, but i'm back out there looking for new friends around the world.

PHILOSOPHY

look for the good in others and let them see the good in you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed and hosted and had the most incredible experiences. I love to see a city as a local does, and introduce others to Toronto, beinga tourist in my own city is so fun.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

being an actor, I have had many moments when I couldn't afford a bed and had to use a couch for a while. these have been some of my favourite times in my life. having to be resourceful and creative can lead to the best adventures

Interests

many facets of the arts. Music, writing, reading, photography, visual art. I love to discover a great song I've never heard before. live music and live theatre are a way of life for me. great movies, and a good tv show.
