Overview
About Me
Hi. I am a 26 year old Canadian male. Continuing to search for a calling, I suppose. But, most consistently, I work as a tree planter in BC in the summer time. I like it very much. I am easy-going and friendly and enjoy meeting good people. Most of my traveling has been done in Canada.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I love the philosophy of Couchsurfing. It promotes trust, positivity and community. And subverts the capitalist agenda! Haha, at least a little...
I really believe in this sort of community. It promotes the building of relationships in order to expand each other's opportunities and experiences, rather than putting a price tag on those things.
Interests
Outdoors, music, travel, writing, spreading a bit of love and kindness.
Experiences over material things. Relationships over money.
Music, Movies, and Books
Huge fan of music from the musical revolution of the 1960s and 70s. I have a deep place in my heart for the guitar, especially in its electrified form. But I enjoy a lot of different music and believe that a ton of great stuff continues to be created.
Really enjoy any book with a bit of social or emotional insight. Kurt Vonnegut is a definite favourite. But Catch-22 might be one of the best reading experiences I've ever had.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Planted over 300,000 trees all over BC and Alberta.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I am willing to pay up to $30/night happily. Otherwise, I have only the things I brought with me to live and so my sparkling conversation will have to be enough. Although, I am a very capable laborer if you need help with something!
