Overview
About Me
I am a 22 year old from Saskatchewan, Canada (it's a bunch of farms, not a whole lot exciting about it). My girlfriend Morgan and I will be traveling to Iceland from July 26th to August 4th and we're hoping to immerse in the culture and people of Iceland as much as possible as well as save a bit of krona to lower the costs of seeing such a beautiful country.
We are traveling as two poor young adults. Morgan is currently in the process of getting her degree in Archaeology and wishes to branch specifically into Viking Archaeology, possibly at a University in Iceland for her masters. I have strong ties to my Norwegian bloodline and want to experience a lot of the viking heritage and beautiful sights that can be found in Iceland.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
To save money while traveling as well as really get immersed in the culture and people of Iceland as we may be moving to the country for Morgan's university in the coming years.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I have met a lot of metal bands in my time, been to over 100 metal shows, DJ'd multiple music festivals, been through Italy and Greece.
Teach, Learn, Share
I was a Microbiology, Immunology, and Biotechnology split discipline with the University of Saskatchewan and now work for a Market Research Software company. I know a fair amount about music and am usually seen as pretty great company in general with a lot of fun stories to tell.
What I Can Share with Hosts
My personality, stories, outgoing adventurous outlooks and inability to write something like this about myself.
I am extremely excited to learn and experience and someone who would be willing to show me the small quirks of their homeland would be precisely the Host I could dream for!
