About Me

CURRENT MISSION

find an ambition that will last a life time

ABOUT ME

Hrrmmmm, well to describe myself is not easy! Ask my mama and she'll say how sweet I am. Ask my papa and he'll say how noble I am. Ask my brother and he'll laugh and talk about himself instead. I like to think that sharing my nebulous personality and humbled perspective is the best way for me to change the world.

PHILOSOPHY

Live in peace. Love fiercely. Act spontaneously on what comes instinctively. Listen to your heart and deny your fate. Laugh at this cosmic joke which we call life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting surfers during my 1 month stay in Buenos Aires! I would like to surf more during my travels and meet some more interesting folks.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had couchsurfing for many years before using it. I stayed for a week at a fellow treeplanters house, and he inspired me to get couchsurfing so that he wasn't just a surfer, but a host as well. Later, when I lived in Toronto, I lived alone in a small apartment and worked full time, nobody wanted to surf my couch. Then for a month in Buenos Aires I lived in a massive house called La Madriguera and hosted tons of people! There were surfers every single night. Now I'm back on the road and hoping to find some hospitality in return!
