I'm a Canadian dude who has left behind my job, friends and family to embark on the trip of my dreams. Five months of solo travel, six countries, and countless new friends later, it's safe to say that I've caught the travel bug! I've just made my way through most of Southeast Asia and am excited to be hitting up the Philippines and New Zealand next. If you're heading the same way or have a couch to spare, feel free to give me a shout!

I'm big into the outdoors: rock climbing, hiking, and skiing are some of my greatest joys in life. I'm also an avid landscape and adventure photographer. I love capturing moments from my travels and hope to inspire others to get outside through my photography (shameless plug: feel free to check out my latest shots at www.instagram.com/the_blau).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting people from all over the world and learning about different cultures is a big reason for why I travel!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Being born in Singapore and having just spent five months traveling through Southeast Asia, I'm full of tips for things to do, places to visit, and foods to eat if you're heading that way.

I also cook a mean jambalaya.
