Proud to originate from my crappy city of Edmonton, Canada. I find it hard to talk about myself so I'll just say that I'm pretty easy to get along with. I am essentially an old man trapped in a young person's body who enjoys the simple things in life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For free shelter because I'm cheap like that :) Not really, but that's a bonus.

In all my travels so far the most memorable moments have come from meeting new people from very different backgrounds. Few things compare to the genuine connections you make with those you find aren't too different from yourself at all. I want to continue learning from fellow travellers from all over the world, and to share some good times.
