Hello! My name's Cam, I'm a recent graduate, living, working, reading, and shovelling snow off my walkway four months of the year in Canada's capital city, Ottawa. I love to read, I love to learn, I love to walk, I love to have interesting conversations with others, and I love to laugh.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As of August 2017, I'll be in between jobs and travelling through Western Europe both by myself and with a friend. I want to couch-surf so I can meet residents of the cities I'm passing through and, I hope, make some good friends and memories.

Music, Movies, and Books

My taste in culture and understanding of the world is still evolving, but these are some musicians, movies, and writers I've enjoyed in the past few years:

Music - Belle and Sebastian, LCD Soundsystem, Kendrick Lamar, and jazz, classical, and funk music.
Movies - Stalker, Arrival, Pulp Fiction, Do The Right Thing, and Jurassic Park (the original one)
Writers - David Foster Wallace, James Baldwin, Franz Kafka, Susan Sontag, Alice Munro, WB Yeats, Paul Celan

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm learning French and Italian, which is to say that I don't speak either of them well at all, but I'm eager to improve my ability to converse in them. I'd love to practice this with others and help with their English, should they want some, in return.
