Hi! My name is Gunnar, I'm a vegetarian solo backpacker leaving Canada for the first time to Southeast Asia so that I can learn more about myself and the world and hopefully have a positive impact along the way.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

I've heard great things about it and I'd like to make some new friends and connections by sharing stories and/or experiences

Интересы

I've played both the guitar and the drums for a few years each and while I don't really know any campfire songs, I can jam along to almost anything. I have a relaxed approach to developing these skills

I like to read and write, recently about psychology because I find it is helpful to make sense of my life in this way so that I am more able to determine what I would like to do with it. Lately I've also been cultivating an interest in language and history.

Музыка, кино и книги

I'm very open to different types of music. Lately I've been listening to a lot of chillhop, but in the past I've loved jazz, rock, indie, grunge, electronica...

Books that have made a big impact on me lately: Flow (by Mihalyi Czikszentmihaly), Man's Search For Meaning (Victor Frankl), Fifteen Dogs (André Alexis), Power (Bertrand Russel)
I love to talk about the books I'm reading and the ideas they inspire.

Cycled 1700km from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi, Vietnam

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

I volunteered as an English teacher in Hanoi, Vietnam for 5 weeks teaching adults and children 2-4 hours per day. It was a wonderful experience

Чем я могу поделиться с хостами

Whatever would be appreciated. I'm espevially interested in volunteering though I lack experience in most fields.

I'm also quite tidy and respectful of others' values, beliefs, and property.
