CURRENT MISSION

I'm currently in the process of doing some training to further my skills as a Naturopath.

ABOUT ME

I'm a 27/m who is hoping to explore more of North America and had a friend tell me about this website and the many positive experiences she has had.

My current mission is to develop my skills further as a practicing ND. I work in a multidisciplinary clinic that deals with a large athlete population, which comprises about 50% of my practice, which I enjoy very much.

When I'm not at work I'm usually riding my bike, or am at the beach (in the summer), or I'm at home cooking health-conscious meals. In the winter months I enjoy doing (hot) yoga.

I have done a fair amount of traveling throughout Canada and USA and am hoping to check some more locations off my list. About 6 years ago I spent a summer in China that was life-altering and which opened up my awareness to naturopathic medicine, at some point I plan to go back for an extended period of time.

I decided to sign up for this service mainly as a "surfer". Due to my current living situation (shared living, renting a room in a woman's home) I feel I am unable to host for the time being.

Thank you!

PHILOSOPHY

I have some favourite quotes that can help to sum this section up; but mostly I live by the philosophies "Do Unto Others..." and try to leave this planet a better place then how I found it.

Fav quotes:
“Treat matters of great concern lightly, treat matters of small concern seriously”

"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated" --Gandhi

"The problems that exist in the world today cannotbe solved by the level of thinking that created them" --Einstein

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I decided to sign up for this service mainly as a "surfer". Due to my current living situation (shared living, renting a room in a woman's home) I feel I am unable to host for the time being.

However, I will soon be moving into a new place with my partner and we hope to be able to host and surf together (she does a lot of work overseas and loves this sort of experience)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have not had any experiences like this before, however for the past 1-2 years I have been living in "shared living" situations in people's homes as I enjoy that kind of community feel.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Probably my most amazing and life-changing experience to date was the time I spent on my own in China at Zhejiang University. I met some amazing people, learned a lot about myself and my interests, and found my calling in life. Can't wait to go back!
