I was born in a country that doesn't exist. Stamped with a nationality of a country I've never been to, and then when I became a Canadian citizen, my "motherland" refused me as her son. This makes me into a perfect Torontonian. Combined with many years of experiences in the tourism industry and as a tour guide and instructor, I will be the best choice for your visit to Toronto. I work in education, I ride a motorcycle, and I play poker. I have been living in Toronto for more than half of my life and will be able to accommodate any theme and provide any information that you would like, especially how to spend your precious time in this beautiful city.
IMPORTANT: make sure to have a talk with me before coming to a meeting spot! Entertainment District and Cultural Corridor of Toronto. Why do we call Toronto - "North Hollywood"? Come out on a walk with me where we talk about the cultural identity of Canadians, especially Torontonians. You will see some of the coolest and largest public art pieces in the city and will learn about the history of art and its presence in Canada and Toronto.
You will also see examples of street art and we'll discuss where the line between vandalism and art can be drawn. We will pass by the headquarters for the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) and Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) We will talk about modern cinema and the impact of Toronto on Hollywood right in the "studio" of this beautiful city.
You will see some of the oldest and newest theatres in the city that are just a block away from each other. We will finish on the Canadian Walk of Fame, beside Roy Thompson Hall, and discuss what the future of culture and entertainment looks like in Canada, Toronto, and all over the world.
I will be waiting by the big elephant statue (Couch Monster) on the south-west corner of McCaul and Dundas. I'll be wearing a hat, glasses, and will have a big beard.
