For most of my life, I have moved around a bit before I finally found my spot here in Toronto. Born in Vancouver, I spent my early childhood in Hong Kong, my English-learning year in Los Angeles, my growing up years in Vancouver, my college years in Montreal, my first working year in Kenya, and now I've been in Toronto for a year and a half!

Now I'm mostly working to build up my career, and while I have this stability, forge ahead with my education as well with night courses. I still manage to find time to unwind, mosey around with my puppy, meet up with friends for food and drinks, annd occasional weekend trips!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've just started to settle into Toronto, finally a home for me, but I still miss traveling tons! I've always lived with roommates since I moved out from home and I love being around people. There are perks to living by myself, but frankly, my 650 sq ft condo, feels too big for me.

I'd love to share the space with those visiting the city, get to know about your adventure and what you're planning to see. Meeting new people and hearing about their interesting lives is always invigorating, and they always end up showing me new things about the city!

I just set up my profile, so hopefully you're not alarmed by my lack of references. Feel free to message me/google me (although there are plenty of Jasmine Lams in the world- good luck! or you can try "Jasmine Lam McGill" which includes my alma mater).
