Just finished a three year stint in New Zealand and am back to living out of a backpack for a few months before going home to Canada.

I've most recently worked as a bartender/bar manager but I'm hoping, at some point in the future, to get into marine conservation.

I love the outdoors (hiking, the ocean, wildlife), cooking tasty veg meals, and getting to know different places, people and cultures. As a previous bartender, I love trying new beers, wines, and cocktails, especially if they're unique to the country I'm in!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

This community is proof that hospitality and kindness towards strangers do still exist! Not to mention, it's an awesome way to get to know locals while traveling and to get a taste of what a city is really like beneath the touristic surface.

兴趣

I always want to learn more about and participate in conservation and green initiatives.

音乐、电影和书籍

To name only a few of each -
Books: Oryx and Crake, 1984, Lord of the Flies, The Hobbit, Good Omens, The Great Gatsby, Alice in Wonderland, Life of Pi, Americanah

Music: My music taste is always expanding and evolving - some old stuff, some new stuff, some soft indie stuff, some punk rocky stuff. Live music - in whatever form it takes - is always a great time. Sufjan Stevens, The National, Sampa the Great, Royal Headache, Downtown Boys, Songhoy Blues, St Lucia, Courtney Barnett, Asgeir Trausti, The Boom Booms, Frank Ocean, etc etc etc. I'm always keen to get to know more artists/bands!

Movies: Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit, The Motorcycle Diaries, Miyazaki films, Amélie, West Side Story, Attack the Block, Moonrise Kingdom, The Royal Tenenbaums, various documentaries

I could go on and on, and I always love getting recommendations!

教，学，和分享

I can whip up some cocktails for the team, or teach you how to make the classics! Also, I'm always willing to help with English and, when I'm in my home city, show you around (although it's been a while, it might be an exploration for the both of us!)

I really, reeeeeeally want to learn Spanish.
