I come from a small city in Ontario, Canada, which is where I've lived most of my life. However, traveling is a serious passion of mine and I've spent the majority of my life as of late living abroad. The rush of seeing new places, experiencing new cultures and meeting new people is important to me and I do my best to embrace living outside my usual 'comfort zone'.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Having learned of Couchsuring through some reliable friends, I decided to join the experience. Being on Couchsurfing requires an openness and positiveness that is infectious, I feel. The generally shared sense of openness, positiveness and interest in complete strangers from members here is really special and I am glad to be able to meet people who share in creating this great community :)

兴趣

I'm very much interested in sports (largely football/soccer and basketball). I am very passionate about music and films as well. I highly value in depth conversation on political, cultural and societal issues, and I also enjoy philosophizing and thinking the day away on occasion.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Volunteering and living in a host family and being a (temporary) member of a small rural Kenyan town and becoming part of such a caring, interested, close knit and socially active community.

教，学，和分享

In striving to understand the world and people in it, it's important to share and learn from one another to gain a better understanding of ourselves in the world and in the human condition, in general. In doing so, I feel that there is great value in learning and sharing experiences in life. I hope that we can share a bit about ourselves and create some positive energy in the world!
