About Me

Hey guys,

I just moved back to Montreal after living away for a couple years. I was an English teacher in Vietnam for 2 years, and did plenty of traveling in between that. Im back to study in my home town, Montréal, and couldn't be happier, this city is fantastic. I do miss meeting people from all over the word, though! I live in an appartment with a buddy in the heart of the plateau, a minute walk to a bus stop, and a 15 minute walk to 3 different metros. Me and my roommate are very laid back guys, we like to drink beer, chat, eat, board games, concerts and of course Tam tams on Sundays (we live a block away). We enjoy going out and having a good time but also enjoy a night in watching a movie. We both work too, so you'd have to be independent if we were not available to hang out while you'd stay. Unfortunately all I can offer is a selection of two couches, but they're comfy ones! The place is definitely not a hotel, so please clean up after yourself, and get out there! The city is thriving with things to do. Je parle français aussi!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well no one can deny that free accommodation is a perk, but it just scratches the surface as to what couch surfing offers. I'm using couch surfing to make new friendships globally, to see places of a city I would have never found on my own, to have a good laugh, and to return the favor anytime a previous host is in my city.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I taught English for two years in Hanoi, Vietnam. I showed up with little to no money to my name but figured it out quickly. Once I finished my two years, I packed my bags, got on a motorcycle and drove up to the boarder of China, then back down all the way to Ho Chi Minh.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A good time, smiles, laughs, and songs! (I don't go anywhere without a guitar)
