About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Planning to see the world and hoping all Couchsurfers are open to meet me.

ABOUT ME

Well hmmm.... I was born on the East coast of Canada. In a small town called Etobicoke. After moving to Vancouver as a boy, my Dad decided to move back to his country. So we moved to Switzerland... I am now in Walzenhause right next to the Bodensee. Yeah I'm still a teacher and still learning!
I have a degree in Electromechanics and finished teachers school successfully...

I love to tell stories and love to hear your stories too. I got Internet, even a spare bed and of course a couch!

PHILOSOPHY

Live life to the max and be kind to others. Stay calm in every situation.
To differ the inessential from the essential and still see the details.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Please come and use my couch! If I have time I'll show you around!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm interested in this project because I get the chance to be a local person through just surfing on a couch. I want to see how other people live, laugh, cook and chat. I would love to feel like a local wherever I go.

Interests

I love music and go frequently to concerts. I also love sports or just have fun with my friends! I enjoy having people from different countries or different cultures around me...
