CURRENT MISSION

To grow through connection and hold space for myself and others to live without shame 🌊🌀🍄

ABOUT ME

I am a considerate, enthusiastic, and compassionate queer Canadian looking to make the most out of life and learn in this world.

Excitedly looking to meet as many people as possible as I make my way around the world.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live. Let's celebrate connection! Polyamorous 🕸

Experience the world through a magical and animistic lense.

Art as expression of the soul.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing because the experiences, and the people that I have met continue to change my life.

Their generosity, openness, enthusiasm for life inspire me to grow and be more open :)

It is the ultimate crash-course in meeting amazing people, in amazing places.

Interests

My interests are rooted in understanding and explanding how to be in this world, but not of this world.
🌀✨️

You will find me dancing, cooking, playing through art, and leading with compassion.

I am actively, and enthusiastically broadening my interests and having fun along the way!

Music, Movies, and Books

My philosophy is that there are amazing music, books, and movies in every genre!

Music: I love powerful vocals, folk with a twist, and classics from every decade!

Movies: Anything (almost) by Quentin Tarantino, Studio Ghibli, Wes Anderson.

Books: Calvin and Hobbes, Hatchet - open to expanding my literary spread.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived in Botswana, Africa for 8 months in the last year of my University degree (International Development).

In my time I was able to:
-Work full-time at a social enterprise - helping with their marketing and business development
-Travel through Zambia by bus to Tanzania for new years!
-Drive down to South Africa (Johannesburg).
- Go on wonderful Safaris.
-Live and work in the closet as a gay man (illegal to be gay in Botswana).

Teach, Learn, Share

I may not have many "hard" skills (carpentry, plumbing, etc.) to provide - but I enjoy cooking, dance, philosophy etc!

Love talking to people and trying to give a unique perspective!
