ABOUT ME

I am a relaxed individual, easy going and love to have a good time. Playing music is my passion and I never hesitate to play for anybody. I am easy going, and easy to get along with. I Play in the band called Fermented Oranges, and write original material. I Like to meet new people, and experience new things.

Feel free to check out our band at: www.facebook.com/fermentedoranges

PHILOSOPHY

Live. We are all one and part of the whole. When you dis-identify your true self from the repetitive and negative thoughts the egoic mind constantly produces, then you can live in a state of peace. When the collective consciousness of humanity shifts (which it is currently doing) we will all realize how life is very simple; just be!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I couch surfed with a few hosts while I was back-packing through Europe with my friend. I have hosted one person (mainly because I live in a small town in Canada where not a lot of people couch surf, otherwise I am willing to host all the time) and I plan to keep couch surfing throughout all of my up coming travels.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All positive, have met a variety of great people who have a similar mindset to myself. I have been shown around to amazing sights, and have been provided with remarkable hospitality. It's being able to meet people all over the world who are open minded with such ease.

Interests

I am interested in music, specifically playing guitar and writing. I enjoy out door swimming and surfing. I like to go to parties and pubs and love to have good conversations with people. I enjoy travelling as much as I can. I am a life guard in Grand Bend, Ontario and in the summer time I am also a bouncer at a bar. I enjoy weight-lifting and running; as well as pretty much anything out doors.

Teach, Learn, Share

In Canada, I am a swimming instructor and I am always willing to help correct a stroke or teach people how to perform lifeguarding tasks. I have helped numerous friends complete physical fitness goals as well. I know a lot about weight lifting as well as exercise and nutrition. I also play guitar, drums and bass and am always willing to help others learn. I also surf and enjoy spreading the experience. I like to share the music I have created, and never hesitate to give a cd of our band to anybody who may want it. I have a lot of stories to share through personal experiences of travelling, or doing things with my close friends. Through couch surfing I have learned a great deal. I have also learned that people are generally good and willing to help. There is no such thing as stupid, just different.
