About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To meet as many interesting and well traveled people as possible.

ABOUT ME

Hello, I grew up on the east coast of Canada. I studied graphic arts and multi-media in university.

Apon graduation, I moved to South Korea to teach English. I lived in Korea for a few years and in that time I traveled all over Asia, meeting many fantastic people.
I returned to Canada in 2011 and am currently working as a graphic designer / product manager for a geoscience company in downtown Calgary. I also live downtown near the 7th ave LRT station.

PHILOSOPHY

To meet new people, explore new lands, and expand my reality.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am still new to the couchsurfing scene. A long time friend of mine who is a active member invited me to his home in Malaysia. Durning my 3 weeks there I met 6 couch surfers that he was hosting. I also attended a couchsuring parting at a bar in Ipoh City.

I really enjoyed meeting so many interesting people and decided to begin hosting when I returned to Canada.
