I'm a university dropout on a mission to find the funner things in life. I live for adrenaline and love all forms of outdoor entertainment. I am a massive fan of digital art and mainstream cinema. I am passionate about eSports and hope to one day make a career of streaming. I love stand up comedy and enjoy performing from time to time. I am well mannered and hold respect for people, environment and property as my 3 most important values. I am from a very interesting country and I have a good many stories to tell.

I LOVE GIVING MASSAGES! This needs to be in all caps because it is very important to me, as a kid growing up I would always get into trouble because I like to fidget a lot and I find that to concentrate I need my hands to do something. My hands have a mind of their own. I found recently that I am both very good at and absolutely love giving massages. I massage people while I am talking to them or while I am watching a movie and it keeps me focused and interested. I would definitely give you many massages if I was to meet up with you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hotels and hostels are great but I would rather spend my time with a person than at a place. Some people are good at travelling alone, they have a plan and a mission, they have the skills to get what they need in a strange place. That person is not me, I am looking to find likewise people and have them stay with me or me with them. For the particular trip I am on currently I would like to meet people in the Minneapolis area so that I have a bit of a friend base to start off with, moving to a new country with literally nothing but my backpack and camera is terrifying.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I worked at a summer camp for children with physical disabilities. Nothing in my life has been as refreshing and stimulating as the 2 months I spent there. There are kids who have deteriorating conditions which mean they will die by the age of 25 yet they are living their life to the best of their ability. That ability sometimes is only being able to move 2 fingers and their mouth.

I worked as a canoe tripper for a summer camp in Ontario and I got the opportunity to go on many trips out in the Algonquin and Kilarney national parks. Nothing I have ever experienced could prepare me for the absolute beauty and richness of the Canadian landscape.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can show you a diverse aspect of the world you never considered even though I speak English I come from a very different culture. I want to learn what life means to other people and hear their stories. I am not wealthy by any means but I will share with you what I have in exchange for memories and experiences.

I will HAPPILY give you many massages. I love to massage and feel connected to people. I feel that the best conversations I have had in my life were while I was massaging people.

What I Can Share with Hosts

All that I can offer is a few days with someone that is positive, energetic and respectful who is willing to do any of the things that you think are important for someone to do. I am a 1 minute friend, you will know who I am and where I stand within 1 minute of meeting me. I work in the lowest possible paying sector of society so in terms of money I can pay for things and buy us food.
