I'm an optimistic and outgoing Canadian, loving life in East Asia for the past 10 years. My favourite kind of people are great conversationalists that have a great sense of humour and enjoy sharing their own experiences - since that's exactly what I'm about, too!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new and different people from all over the world. I've even been been lucky enough to host people whom I've met while traveling in other parts of the world - that's the beauty of Couchsurfing!

(As long as I'm not busy), I love introducing guests to my favourite restaurants, new foods and experiences of whatever city I'm living in.

Music, Movies, and Books

Flexible on all fronts. I appreciate different forms of art. Although I've recently gotten hooked on reading the Game of Thrones novels.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have traveled every Southeast Asian country, and some of South Asia. I'm especially well-traveled around South Korea and Japan as both an avid traveler AND a tour guide by profession, so I can definitely give you some travel tips if you ask.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm full of travel advice and tips for all of East Asia and Southeast Asia. Plenty of travel stories, open-mindedness, an easygoing personality and a great sense of humour are what you'll get with me.
