CURRENT MISSION

Be happy. Learn.

ABOUT ME

I love adventure and meeting new people. My passion is learning. I love nature and food.

I'm not particular about it and don't care if you get it wrong, but if you were curious, my name is pronounced bo like a bow tie or bow and arrow. It rhymes with "no".

PHILOSOPHY

The goal of life is being happy.
Experiences are much better than things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I took a trip around the world where I surfed with lots of people. Now that I'm back I host people whenever possible.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had the most amazing experiences surfing with people all over Asia and the Middle East. They were so friendly and fun!

Why I'm *not* on CouchSurfing:
Just to remove any ambiguity, I'm not here for sex. You're welcome to bring people back to my place, or if you're multiple people you're welcome to have sex, but I'm just here for the cultural exchange and to give back to this great community.

Interests

I'm passionate in all I do. I love plants. I love to travel and learn. I also love intelligent conversation. I'm very active: I play goaltimate, hockey, and bike a lot. I enjoy cooking. I have a lot of personal projects, many of them web based.

Teach, Learn, Share

Two quick things to teach:
1) Enjoy the journey.
2) Pick up-beat karaoke songs that most people know the words to - And sing it like you're a rockstar.

I can teach you many things about computers/programming, cooking, plants.
