CURRENT MISSION

To travel and meet new people on my Europe and Middle East trip over the next 4 months!

ABOUT ME

I love basketball and soccer, I am very friendly and outgoing. For the last 9 years, I have been jumping from one travel experience to the next, while returning home to Canada periodically to work and catch up with friends and family.

My current trip I can divide into 4 parts.

Part 1: 3 weeks in England, Cardiff, Paris and Antwerp to see a few concerts and catch up with friends.
Part 2: 8 weeks in the Balkans, consisting of Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Kosovo, Montenegro, Albania, North Macedonia and Bulgaria.
Part 3: 4 weeks island hopping in Greece with 3 friends from home (Milos, Ios, Santorini for 1.5 weeks and 2.5 weeks in Crete)
Part 4: 6 weeks between Cyprus, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel and Egypt.

PHILOSOPHY

I am honestly just trying to have a good time and enjoy life. Looking for new experiences and to meet fun and interesting people along the way. I don't really have much of a philosophy, so I'll just go with some lyrics from my favorite band (who also happen to be Canadian):

So make sure you love like you've never been hurt. And when you dance, dance like there's no one watching you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I activated my account a few years ago and haven't hosted anyone or stayed with anyone yet.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have no experience on couchsurfing. Looking to meet some cool people to stay with, as well as host, when I return home.

Interests

Basketball is my favourite sport, but I can talk any sport. I love learning new languages and exploring new cultures. I'm big into music; I love live concerts and I listen to a ton of different styles and genres. I'm fascinated by the world of beer; the different flavour profiles and combinations. I love board games and card games. It's the simple things in life!
