About Me

Hey!
I am a 21 yr old student currently living in Toronto, Canada.
I am currently in my 4th year at the University of Toronto studying Business and Computer Science (weird combination, I know).

I'm an avid traveller! I try to travel as much as I can as I love exploring the world.

I would consider myself a pretty chill guy, and am always eager to meet new people and to learn new things!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When travelling, I love exploring, meeting people and understanding the country's culture. I used to stay at hostels which is a great way of meeting other travellers however I realized I wasn't able to fully immerse myself in a country.
Couchsurfing is great because I get to meet new people especially locals, and I get to experience the complete culture of a country.

Interests

I love playing sports and being active outdoors!
I enjoy hiking, rock climbing (and bouldering), tennis and volleyball.

I'm also a huge coffee addict. In my hometown, I like to explore the city's best cafes. If you enjoy chatting at cafes, we will get along just fine :)

Another interest of mine is playing music.
I used to play drums in a metal band. I also know how to play the piano.

I admit I'm also a bit of a computer geek. I love playing video games such as CSGO, Mass-Effect and Mario Kart (Challenge me in Mario Kart ;) ) . I also am very interested in programming and web-design.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the coolest things I've done is I've gone Canyoning in Scotland.
Canyoning consists going up a mountain, and then following the river down by jumping off waterfalls and sliding down rapids with nothing but a wetsuit.
