About Me

Exploring and nature enthusiast! I'm really interested in just meeting good people, getting to know different cultures and landscapes, bicycling, swimming, going for drinks. Up for anything really, but only if you don't mind me talking about Billie Holiday and Tom Waits ceaselessly.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In September I'm taking my first trip outside of Canada. I'll be heading on over to Ireland for two weeks! So I'm just trying to get out there, meet people and maybe sleep on a couch or two to keep my expenses low.
