About Me

Just finished up a masters in Stockholm. I grew up in Toronto and lived abroad a bit (mostly Hong Kong and Beijing). Great cities, great people, and great food!

I play ultimate, Settlers of Catan and Balderdash. I bike, canoe camp, and eat everything. I love riddles and enjoy fun, intelligent and wacky conversations with just about anyone.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet cool people, learn new things! I've couchsurfed in Beijing, Istanbul and Seoul and hosted a few surfers in Stockholm. It always atracts interesting people!
