I'm an 18 year old young'n from Vancouver Canada taking a gap year before university in Europe.
I like to think I'm easy going, kind, and rational with a lust for life. I'm always up for trying new things, for exploring the outdoors, for listening to stories and learning, for dancing, generally I'm up for anything at all. But not gay sex. Seems to be a common misconception :)

A quote I like:
“Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.” - Albert Camus

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Amazing site. It's inspiring how the internet can be such a great mediator for people who want to help each other and connect.

Interests

Music. I have a radio playing in my head pretty much at all times, so if you ever notice me with a faraway look on my face just ask me what song I'm listening to! A day spent hanging out and listening to music is a perfect day for me. You can take a look at the kind of music I like here. http://www.last.fm/user/zage513

Anything in the great outdoors. Hiking, running, biking, swimming, nature walks, that kind of thing. Going to the gym too.
