About Me

Hey! I'm a 24 year old backpacking musician from just outside of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Love to travel... Obviously! Recently spent 8 months in Australia on a working holiday visa, backpacking, roadtripping, and working up and down the east coast. My time spent down undaa was definitely an eye opener and I haven't looked at travelling in the same light since!
Currently backpacking through the US of A with not too much idea where the road will take me next.. Doin' as much busking in the form of guitar playing and singing as I can to keep some $$ in my pocket..
There's definitely something to be said about travelling alone, between the people you meet, the experiences you have, and the places you go, it's one wild ride!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting new and interesting people is one of the most exciting parts of travelling! While the hostel life introduces you to a wide range of new friends from all over the world, to me there's really no better way to experience the culture and natural beauty of a place than by hangin' with the locals, and learning first hand what a new place has to offer!

Interests

Super passionate about music, whether just jammin' with friends, performing live, listening.. If music's involved I'm there! I play guitar and sing a wide variety of covers and original tunes.
Love to explore nature in any way I can.. Hiking, swimming in lakes, oceans, rivers, snowboarding, rafting, it's all good!
Ohh and hockey.. (Canadian, obviously)

Music, Movies, and Books

Lover of many types of music; rock, folk, reggae, hip hop, country, edm.. Anything good really.
Currently my favourite artists would have to be the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jack Johnson, the Eagles, and Bob Marley

Big film and television fan: again not too picky, I'll watch anything well done or entertaining enough. Love Game of Thrones, Boardwalk Empire, anything HBO really..

Books: Harry Potter was the shit 😎, Lotr, The Alchemist, and currently working my way through Game of Thrones.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'd have to say completing my open water PADI diving certification at Julian Rocks in Byron Bay, Australia was one of the most mind blowing experiences of my life.. From the electric colours to the massive sting rays and grey nurse sharks, it was spectacular!

Teach, Learn, Share

Always open minded and eager to learn/teach new things
I love teachin' people how to play guitar!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Haha I'll kick out the musical jams until you're sick of hearin' em!
That and some good conversation, a positive attitude and eagerness to share in some fun times.
