About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To make your experience in Toronto, Niagara Falls, Thousand Islands... as awesome as it can be!.

ABOUT ME

I am from Colombia, living in Canada since 7 years ago (now a Canadian citizen). I lived 4 years in Montreal. I am a divorced parent of two lovely teenagers. They are the light of my eyes. I love learning languages and teaching, doing sports and visiting new places.

PHILOSOPHY

Try to learn new things everyday, treat the others the way you would like to be treated, respect nature, enjoy the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to host people who want to visit the GTA (Greater Toronto Area) and taking them around to the most important touristic attractions and places.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Here in Toronto, and when I was living in Montreal, I host newcomer families who just landed in Canada from their countries, especially Latin countries. I love that because when my family and I first came, a friend of mine did the same for us. It was for a week or so while getting a rented apartment.
