ABOUT ME

A laid back, open-minded lover of the arts who is eager for new experiences, to meet new people and to learn new things. The world is a very large place and I intend to see as much as possible. I think that travel broadens one's horizons and allows people to gain a greater understanding of the world around them. What better way to learn from other people and cultures than actually meeting them and staying with them?

PHILOSOPHY

To quote the keyboardist from Spinal Tap, "Have a good time all the time."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only recently gotten into couchsurfing, having surfed twice before. I'm looking forward to travelling more and meeting new people.

Interests

I give a heavy weight to aesthetic pleasures in life. I enjoy listening to and making music, cooking, eating, drinking, art and literature. I have studied philosophy and have recently completed a Master's degree in History.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have had the good fortune of being able to tour across Canada and abroad performing in a band with some of my closest friends. Through playing music I have been able to see both Canada's Atlantic and Pacific coasts as well as a great deal of what lies between. I was also recently able to perform in Taiwan and Japan and was able to host a Japanese band in Canada while they were on tour here.
