CURRENT MISSION

To learn and teach about how our crazy world works. Current endeavor is to improve my french, acupuncture, and yoga skills through travels in France and India. I am traveling with my girlfriend, Jina, who is Colombian and 23 years old.

ABOUT ME

male highschool teacher who studied business admin. Also a yoga teacher. Love to travel, learn languages, and meet people. I guess thats why I´m on couchsurfing.

My girlfriend Jina (travelling with me currently), speaks very basic english. I speak fluent spanish and I'm working on improving my (not so great) french.

PHILOSOPHY

chasing dreams over money and living every day as if it was my last. I once heard somebody say that a good measure of how successful you are in life is how many shining eyes you see around you, and I like to try to live my life in that regard.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted during student life in Victoria, Canada, in Quito, Ecuador, and also in Medellin, Colombia. good expereinces all around. I have done a bit of surfing upon my arrival in Ecuador to teach for a year, great experience. I did a little surfing in Colombia, even better experience.

Interests

Hello! I am a Canadian who has spent the last 5 years teaching english in highschools and online in ecuador and Colombia. I have spent a lot of time outdoors as I often spend my summers in Canada planting trees for work, where you live in a tent and spend all day walking around in the mountains. So naturally I enjoy any activity nature-related as well. I like talking about lots of different topics but especially like getting deep with talks about love, life, or even a bit of politics or economics once and awhile.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been on a university exchange in Mexico and France and have spent 5 months in Nicaragua working in Micro-Finance. Biked around Vancouver completely naked to protest fossil fuels? Almost died in a kayak at sea once? lots of stories to tell. but they are better told in person.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm just trying to figure out this crazy world we live in and trying to above all ways we can repair the faults and appreciate what is already there at the same time.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm happy to cook for you :) I would jump at any chance to repay your kindness of opening your home to me, that's for sure.
