CURRENT MISSION

To determinedly choke enjoyment out of life at every opportunity.

ABOUT ME

I am OVERLY friendly and never shy about meeting new people. I'm endlessly curious about new experiences, small and large and I can get pretty excitable when I find something new to do. When I'm at home I'm easy going and relaxed and can hang out or be on my own, absorbed in whatever is interesting me at the moment.

PHILOSOPHY

I think it is important to live the hell out of your life and to enjoy the process of it. Be kind to others and understand that most of the advantages that you have are yours by chance. Understand that other people are not you and be patient. Work hard to become the best person you can be.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Did some surfing of the couch variety as I traveled across Canada to Vancouver. Now I have started looking into and participating in some CS events.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It's pretty awesome. Surfed three times, all the people were great, never even had to sleep on a couch. Great decision to join on my part really. Making and joining events is a great way to meet people and to find others who share your passions.

Interests

I like to play chess and video games, I read and cook, I play hacky-sack and bike, I love to be outside. I'm pretty passionate about the martial arts and did some kick-boxing and jiu jitsu for a while.

Teach, Learn, Share
