CURRENT MISSION

Ensuring my soul is not completely crushed by the man.

ABOUT ME

I love Toronto with all my heart. I spend every opportunity sharing this love with people I know. When I'm not evangelizing Toronto I do volunteer work, attend shows and spend copious amounts of time on patios.

PHILOSOPHY

things happen for a reason
One foot in front of the other, taking it one day at a time.

Effective immediately, I will only host people who have taken the time to read my profile fully. I will know this because if you have you will put the phrase purple monkey dishwasher somewhere in the body of your request to surf message.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate by telling people about couch surfing. As well as offering my couch and companionship. I hope to utilize couch surfing further as i continue to travel.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It has been a blast so far, this summer I met some incredible people, some I know I will be friends with for life. I have continued to have really wonderful experiences as the weather gets colder. I just wish that more surfers took the time to read profiles before requesting to surf, or even accepting a surfer.
