About Me

I currently work at a bank in downtown Toronto. Most of my job revolves around Marketing, Branding and Communications.

Prior to this, I have worked at a camera store, a photo lab and a news & media company. I also teach photography. Yes, I can be a bit of a photo nerd...haha.

Perhaps the single most interesting thing about me is that I have lived on three different continents and I get to spend time doing what I love - marketing, photography, painting, traveling, meeting people, experiencing new cultures & cuisines and taking lots of pictures.

After university, I found a job in St. John's, Newfoundland, so I moved there for year. I moved to Toronto at the end of January 2012. Toronto is a big city but I am liking it here. There is always something to do. I love the arts and there are lots of cool artsy places to hang out. I work right across from Union Station, right in the heart of the financial district.

I am unable to host for now but I would love to meet-up for coffee and show you around the city.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined CS in May 2009 and stayed with some wonderful hosts during my travels.

Due to such a positive experience, upon graduation, I found a job in St. John's, Newfoundland and moved there shortly after. I lived in St. John's for a year and that was an incredible experience.

That experience taught me a lot and I am looking forward to making a positive impact in the CS community.

CS is an amazing initiative and it has taken me to a lot lovely places and has introduced me to some really wonderful people.

In June 2009, I couchsurfed for the whole month all over Atlantic Canada. I had a wonderful time and I met some amazing people that I am friends with now.
