About Me

I'm a young adventurer, passionate web developer, and aspiring entrepreneur.

I grew up near Toronto, Ontario and decided Canada was too cold. But more importantly I decided I didn't want to be boring. My solution was to hop on a plane and come to the UK!

My plan from here is to connect with interesting people, and make a great impact in others' lives.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing offers the opportunity to break out of my shell, connect with interesting people, and travel in an experience rich way.

Interests

Entrepreneurship - From Tim Ferriss to Richard Branson, I love to study great thinkers and doers!

Philosophy - The thoughts of great philosophers tend to steal my interest from time to time, and cause me to do a lot of thinking.

Listening - I learned from Richard Branson the skill, and enjoyment of listening. There is immense value behind everyone's story, and it only takes some active listening.

Travel - To fully immerse into a new environment, culture and way of life, carries a feeling unlike any other. Travel is a new found passion, and one I'll never shake off.

Health - I enjoy learning about all things health. Eating healthy, exercising routinely, and study how I can do both better. But don't get me wrong, I enjoy the odd lazy day, and truly appreciate great baking!

Working - Yes I said working, but let me explain. I firmly believe in doing what you're passionate about as a career. My work just so happens to be an amazing adventure of creativity, technical skill, and the ability to work closely with business owners.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - From parents who love rock and roll, a brother who listens to country, and a peer group interested in hip-hop and house music, I have developed a palette for many genres.

Movies - My all time favourite is Zombieland, starring Jesse Eisenberg. But in general I'm a fan of comedy.

Books - My most recent read is the entrepreneur Richard Branson's autobiography "Losing My Virginity".

Podcasts - From Joe Rogan, to London Real, podcasts are definitely my favourite way to listen to new ideas and explore the knowledge of interesting people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed a small mountain ... without water. Wouldn't recommend it.

Teach, Learn, Share

Web Development - from design to server side, I know this stuff pretty well

Business and Entrepreneurship - I've spent a great deal of time reading up on the topic, and a bit of time around business owners that needed a website.

Health and Meditation - I love these two things and I'm happy to spread the benefits of both.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A well mannered, organized and clean guest.

A constant smile and positive energy.

Helping hand wherever needed.

Most importantly an open mind and curiosity. I'd love to hear your story and philosophy!
