Hi there!

I'm a fellow travelbug. :) I'm down to earth, adventurous, and kind-hearted. I am drawn to those who are like-minded.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm opening up my travel style to more solo trips and would love to meet new people!

I have space to accommodate in Toronto at the moment, but only sporadically as my schedule varies quite a bit.

Interests

I'm a computer geek by profession and I love gadgets and PC/console gaming. I read as much as possible, which is not enough these days, admittedly!

Traveling, obviously, is a highlight for me and I do it as often as possible.

I dabble in photography. I play hockey (goalie).

I love a good amber ale or IPA just as much as a martini or a scotch (single ice cube!).

One of my favorite things to do in a new city is to try the local food.

• photography
• dining
• politics
• traveling
• hockey

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Alt rock for whatever, pop for being silly and happy, ambient for working, hard rock for biking/walking/working out.

Movies: The classics like Labyrinth, Princess Bride, and Heathers. Things-that-make-you-go hmmm: Se7en, Fight Club, The Secretary, Short Bus. All-the-superhero-things: Avengers series, Batman (Dark Knight series is my fave), Kick-Ass. Pretty much anything by Tim Burton and/or Johnny Depp.

Books: Horror/Fantasy. I read the occasional historical fiction. Or whatever jumps out at me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One? :)

I went to Guatemala on a humanitarian mission in Feb 2012. We were there to build a house for a family...but it was so much more than that.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've had quite a bit of experiencing adapting to different situations and places, having moved every 3 years for my entire life. I'm always open to hearing from others!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm pretty easy going and can talk about almost anything...well, except politics. :) I'm always up for an adventure, but perfectly happy to be invisible if that's what you prefer.

No, I don't have an invisibility cape. THAT would be cool to share!
