Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like that strangers become friends really quickly.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I participated in a federal exchange program that places anglophones in French schools in Québec to teach English. Over the course of the year I went around and visited tons of people placed throughout the province as well as hosted many. It was an incredible year. I particularly enjoyed waking up in a new environment with friends you made the day before. How refreshing.
I also toured around Europe and met some awesome people courtesy of couchsurfing and was hosted by incredibly generous and cool folks. Now I like to host people when I can and show them around this great city.

Interests

My favourite things to do involve creating things. I like writing short stories about monsters and aliens. I play music and draw. I also like reading well written novels and outdoor activities like hiking, camping, snowboarding, hacky sack, frisbee etc. I'm also into card tricks and art and have worked as a semi-professional photographer.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all styles of music but really enjoy going to shows with high energy. Being in a dance/mosh pit is the best. Although very vague, I tend to listen mostly to indie music.
My favourite author is Huraki Murakami. Because when you finish the book you're like 'wow I need to read that again'.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

An amazing opportunity I had and really enjoyed was driving in an old RV across the United States last March. California to Toronto.
