CURRENT MISSION

To travel as much as possible and to meet as many interesting and new people as possible!

ABOUT ME

I am currently pursing my PhD and this is taking up a majority of my time! In my spare time I love to train for triathlons whether it be running, swimming, or biking. I have amazing friends and family I love and enjoy spending time with them whenever possible.

PHILOSOPHY

I think the most important thing in life is to be happy. If you aren't happy you and you alone are the one capable of changing this. Don't rely on others to change your life and don't complain to others when there is something you can do to help yourself. If you are happy everything in life is amazing and enjoyable.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate in CS by hosting people whenever I can and try to be hosted whenever I am traveling. I enjoy pub quizzes so have started a pub quiz night every Monday that I organize at McKibbins Pub (come join us if you are available!)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My brother and I couch surfed the majority of our eastern/central Europe trip and had nothing but absolute positive experiences. Because of this I have decided to try hosting myself. Bare with me, it may be bumpy in the beginning but if all the couch surfers out there are like the ones I have met, I don't think it will be a problem!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have done some amazing things lately. I just recently completed my first Olympic distance triathlon, something I was quite proud of, and sometime in the future I hope to complete an ironman!
My friend and I participated in The Ride to Conquer Cancer meaning we cycled 268 km in 48 hrs, awesome experience!
Scuba diving is an activity I love and I have seen lots of amazing things underwater!
I work in a cardiology lab and feeling a heart beating is a very cool thing I have experienced!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I feel the best thing about CS is the fact that you can share travel tips and ideas. I know how strange it can be to land in a foreign country without knowing the language or culture. It is always great to have a smiling face greet you and show you the ropes, so to speak.
I can share many things with my hosts, whether that be stories, ideas, experiences, or even helping out to cook a meal or wash the dishes. I always try to help out the best way I can, after all, I am very appreciative you have let me into your home!
