I'm a 31 year old gay male with a love for the outdoors. I have a passion for photography and am a true animal lover. I have a 7 year old, exceptionally well behaved and loving Australian Shepherd Husky cross named Zeus. He pretty much comes with me wherever I go that I'm able to bring him!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm trying to find a room to rent for me and Zeus as soon as possible! He's currently in a boarding kennel in Oakville which is costing quite a bit of money and it's very stressful on both of us. I'm staying with my Mom for the time being but her condo has a size restriction on dogs, and is in Oakville so it would be extremely helpful to be in the city make apartment hunting easier, as well as having Zeus with me and not stuck in a kennel. He's an incredibly good dog and doesn't like a lot of loud noises so the constant barking in the kennel stresses him out. He also gets along well with dogs but gets overwhelmed and often fades into the background around a lot of dogs so he doesn't get the affection or attention he thrives on.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lost a significant amount of weight over the course of a year and have been able to keep it off for quite a few years now. To do this I became a vegetarian for a few months but then reintroduced chicken and fish and went a year before reintroducing beef and pork. I also started running and working out regularly. In total I lost over 100lbs!!

Teach, Learn, Share

To say I have a variety of life experiences and stories is an understatement. One day I'll get around to writing a book. Always looking to practice my Spanish any chance I get so I don't lose it and become more fluent.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you have a dog/dogs, I'm happy to help with dog walking, exercising, training, grooming, etc. Zeus gets along well with cats also and I'm happy to help with any daily chores needed if there's a cat/cats in the home. I'm also very clean and organized and can help with the household chores and if things need organizing like cupboards or closets I'm pretty good at this. Also any odd jobs around the house, within reason.
