CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to travel to as many places, meet as many people ... share whatever it is I can share with them, and more importantly, learn something about them or something from them.

ABOUT ME

I often think that I only really come alive when I am travelling ...I love visiting new places, meeting new people and making new friends. I am very fortunate to have good friends all over the world. I love the unexpected and love discovery.

For work, I am an interactive media designer. Usually animating something in Flash or designing web/application interfaces. My education is rather extensive ... mostly in the liberal and fine arts (degrees in politics and photography) but always interested to step outside my areas of knowledge.

PHILOSOPHY

Live in the present

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far, my participation in the CS Project has been limited to hosting people in my apartment, as well as meeting visitors to Vancouver for coffee or a meal and showing them around.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been a member of CouchSurfing for a few years now and have hosted several people, mostly coupes. As for surfing someone else's couch, I have yet to do so although I hope to a some point in the future.

Интересы

My interests lean heavily toward the arts, which only feeds my love of travel and meeting people and having interesting conversation.

When I am not travelling or working, I love to read, do Bikram's yoga and go to the cinema.
