Overview
About Me
Toronto is home. I love any opportunity to gain a window into the experiences of others, which is probably why I enjoy traveling and meeting people so much. Food is my number one language of choice, with music and writing coming in close behind.
I love my bicycle, being near water, thought-provoking conversation, outdoor markets, cold beers and spontaneous adventures.
If you're ever in Toronto - let's grab a beer, I'll show you around!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I've crashed on couches in an unofficial capacity before, so this seems to be an awesome extension of that. I've stayed in hostels, hotels and everything in between, so I would like to add some cool couches in interesting destinations to the list.

Music, Movies, and Books
I'll spare you the exhaustive list, so here are a few favourites:
Books:
Unbearable Lightness of Being, The Stranger, Giovannis' Room.

My musical taste resides somewhere between jazz, indie rock/folk and hip hop.
Movies:
Moonlight, Lost In Translation, Clueless, Les Intouchables.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you to knit, make a meal and help you navigate public transit in Toronto.
I'd love to brush up on my French and Spanish, in addition to any kind of interesting knowledge or conversation that anyone has to offer.
I'm always up for sharing snacks, laughs, my snazzy couch, food, stories.
