About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Have a laugh with people and see some new things.

ABOUT ME

I'm from small town Canada which has made me very easy going. I think I'm real easy to get along with especially if there are some musical instruments around.

PHILOSOPHY

Laughing. Helping people. Music. Nature. These things make life beautiful.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've just recently joined up on the website but I have always been a fan of offering a couch/floor for people to sleep on as well as showing people around the area. I've also been blessed by people Ive met offering me a spot in their homes.

Interests

I love music! Playing, listening to, talking about, going to shows and such. I also love nature, going for hikes, taking a swim and I really enjoy seeing wildlife. I like identifying birds and getting pictures of them. One of my favourite things to do is look at pictures of sloths as I find them adorably fascinating.

Music, Movies, and Books

Quentin Tarantino, Wes Anderson, Coen Brothers - top 3 Directors.

The Big Lebowski is my favourite movie of all time.

Neil Young, Pavement, the Pixies are huge influences on me. I'm into all sorts of music though, Blues, Jazz, Hip Hop, Reggae, even some country. I'll give most things a shot.

Kurt Vonnegut is my favourite author hands down - I own all of his novels and find him an inspirational soul. I love reading a copy of National Geographic.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing My Bloody Valentine live.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can play guitar and a couple other instruments. I'm self taught but can still teach a thing or two when it comes to playing. I've also helped some people with their english skills.

I like learning different culinary skills and like to help chop/prep things while people show me what they like to cook.
