I'm not originally from Toronto, but I've been living here for about 8 years now, so I know the city pretty well. Maybe I'm biased, but I really love this city I live in. There's always something great to do, no matter what you're looking for.

I studied photography but will be applying to nursing school next year to become an RN. Somewhere in between photography and nursing I became a nanny. Don't ask me how I got there. Life works in funny ways.

I hate talking about myself. Come stay on my couch and I might tell you more. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was introduced to the wonderful world of Couch Surfing several years ago while working as an au pair in the Netherlands. I've had many amazing, fun and weird (in a good way) experiences because of this community, both hosting and being hosted (as well as finding roommates!). I think it's amazing how people will open up their homes to strangers so they can deliver them a little slice of their home city. It kinda restores your faith in humanity a little bit. ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Two years ago, three friends and I traveled across Canada in an RV, from Toronto to Vancouver, down the coast of the United States to Burning Man (and back).
