HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING / COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm passionate about experimental music: ambient to noise and postrock to doom;

I like reading books and watching movies that have a story that I connect with: Jack Kerouac and some of the other beats, Cormac McCarthy's westerns, The Revenant and anything that captures "the redness in the sky".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveling through the United States was a life altering experience: meeting many people, visiting a lot of National Parks, first time hitch hiking, a lot of craziness and a bunch of wonderful insights.

Exploring the islands of Haida Gwaii with my girlfriend: launching us into a reality where anything is possible.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you want, I'll coach you. I'll share how that changed everything for me and how you can change everything for yourself.
