ABOUT ME
I'm easy going and open minded, I have a passion for learning new knowledge and skills. I tend to be quite positive and optimistic, always looking to make the best out of any situation. I really enjoy travelling and meeting new people. I'm also a nerd and proud of it :)I'm a student at the University of Waterloo, currently doing an undergrad in Mechatronics Engineering. I love science, figuring out how things work, and discovering something new. Not sure exactly what I want to do in the future, but I do know that I want to make an impact on the world and change it for the better.I also love having deep philosophical (or non-philosophical) conversations with people. I like taking many perspectives in order to understand new ideas.To a lot of people I may seem quiet at first, but then once we get to know each other I'm quite crazy and full of energy. I believe there is a lot more to people than what they let on, and once you discover that you have the best experiences!visited 12 states (5.33%)Create your own visited map of The World or Free iphone travel guidevisited 9 states (69.2%)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I have surfed at many places and have had only wonderful experiences. Recently I have started going to CouchSurfing events in my area and found it is a great way to meet people in a new city. From all of these positive experiences I have been inspired to set up many events and host in my hometown when I come back from my exchange in Denmark.
