CURRENT MISSION

To experience all the good art and culture that the city has to offer.

ABOUT ME

My new friends say that I work too much but when we get together that I'm a good listener and a loyal friend. Old friends thank me often for organizing events that bring my good peoples together. Past room mates from my school days have deemed me to be a great cook, tidy and considerate of others.

PHILOSOPHY

Be thankful, gracious and kind to everyone. Most times a positive attitude is contagious. Honesty is good but try to stay positive too and good things will come your way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I listen well.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted friends of friends before and have stayed with friends when travelling but have yet to experience this service.

Interests

For me it's about paying attention to the little details that make life engaging, in that, "great minds think small".
I spend most of my time at working because I love my job. It's really the people that I work with actually. In some ways they have become like family in some ways. I love to ski and go on long canoe trips - summer camp and the mountains changed my life and are nothing short of exhilarating to me. Long-distance running has always kept me sane. More recently, Ultimate frisbee has been keeping me active. I also love to experience live music of almost any genre; classical, folk, jazz ++.
