Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To travel and be merry while sharing space with some fine folks!
ABOUT ME
I am just getting my sea-legs as I navigate around Europe. I am currently teaching primary school English in the south of France until April 2012, and am loving every bit of it. Aside from time spent with friends and family, a significant chunk of my life has been spent playing competitive soccer and doing what young folk do best: school. I love to learn, listen to music, tell stories, and have a laugh. I also love a good beer and a good board-game. Sometimes at the same time. I hope to do some of these things with my potential CS hosts and guests!
PHILOSOPHY
Hmm tough one. Couchsurfing is making me do some serious thinking.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
As a very new member of couch-surfing, and as one who will only really be in travel mode for a few more (all-too-short) months, I am mostly interested in surfing at this point. However, my couch in Biarritz is up for takers who wish to get in touch!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I am completely new, and looking forward to my first surf and host.

Music, Movies, and Books
Oh, loads of 'em. Too many to count. I will tell you about these things when I meet you!
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Once saw a man throw himself into a beautiful, Pocahontas-style swan dive off of a 90ft cliff into open water. Yikes.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can share a bit about my beautiful homeland, Canada: the music, the food, our politics and our people. I play classical violin and can teach you that. I also am always up for a game of soccer (or football), can cook, clean, and help out with whatever you may need around the house!
Couchsurfing is so great because you get to meet locals. I'd love to learn about your resident food and drink, and I love hearing stories about the history and politics of the places I visit.
