About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I am a Canadian student currently studying abroad in Stockholm, Sweden. Looking to travel while I'm abroad, meet new likeminded people and potentially find a place to stay.

I am not looking to hook up, so please do not approach me with those intentions.

ABOUT ME

I'm a slightly shy, friendly, kind, and intellectual guy. I'm an INFJ, if that matters to you.

In terms of education, I have completed a B.A. in Psychology and a Master of Social Work. I am currently in the process of completing a second MA in International Affairs.

PHILOSOPHY

Be kind.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Searching to make friends and meet friendly people around the world. Please don't message me if you haven't read my profile or are looking to simply hook up.

Interests

Most of my academic career has been spent on researching topics related to LGBTQ2+ wellbeing and health. With my current degree I am exploring the international rights and politics around LGBTQ2+ protection. I am also interested in politics broadly including social and health policy.

I love learning anything and everything about Nordic countries. I would love to live in Denmark or Norway someday. Before you ask, yes I also prefer the cold and northern climates. I also enjoy cooking, baking, and fashion/design.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy most dance music, top 40 music, and some of the more alternative stuff. I mostly listen to Norwegian or Danish radio. Some of my favourite artists include: Kygo, Icona Pop, Matoma, Dua Lipa, Robin Schulz, The Weeknd

I do not actually watch too many films but when I get the chance to do so I typically enjoy something funny or with a lot of actions.

In terms of books, I am not too picky. I've read a lot of books based on factual information but also fantasy. It just depends what I'm in the mood for.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling to Scandinavia in 2014 completely alone without any previous travelling experience.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A little Canadian charm, and conversation.
