Hello! I am a born and raised Toronto native. I am half Filipino and half Persian; I can understand Tagalog more than I can speak it, but I do not know Farsi. I am still currently in college studying Social Work.
I am an artist by nature - I love to create whenever, wherever, and however I can.
I am an explorer since young - I love to sight see, be outdoors, and experience new places.
I am a free spirit - I like to go where the party and the people are! I love to dance! I enjoy meeting new people! And I always enjoy a few drinks to go along with it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Thanks to my culturally diverse background, I have been able to travel to many places growing up as I have family in many parts of the world. I've always had a travel bug from having the opportunity to see many countries at a young age, thus, I am trying to see as much as the world as I possibly can.

But I am an independent! Though I like to travel with friends, I would also like to travel on my own and be able to meet new people. I want to couch surf so I can meet locals and make new friends with people from around the world. Eventually I would love to trade hosting with new worldwide friends who would like to visit Toronto!

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to share and teach English in exchange to learn other languages. I am most interested in learning Spanish. I would also love to share my interests in art and creating. I'm not an expert, but I have some knowledge if you're seeking to learn how to make art and create! For the ladies, I was a make up artist full time for 2 years and I still do so on the side a bit. If you'd like to learn I can share some tips or I could even do your make up for you and we can go out in the town to show it off!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I think it's special if we can share experiences. I can also share some personality. I love to make people laugh. I love to share positivity and different outlooks on life. And maybe we can even share some food recipes. I love food!
