CURRENT MISSION

to become less nerdy by backpacking my ass off

ABOUT ME

I am a fourth year student at the University of Toronto double majoring in Geology and Biotechnology. I aspire to enter the mining industry when I graduate. My friends describe me as being very out-going and very easy to get along with.

PHILOSOPHY

"If I cannot make myself laugh, then who can?"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to start off by surfing first. When I get my own place (Yes... sadly currently still living with mama), I'm definitely up for hosting some awesome people

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Nil... Have only surfed unsuccessfully on the Australian beaches

Interests

In my spare time, I like to go camping, hiking, cycling and playing tennis. In addition, I'd like to widen my horizon by going backpacking starting as soon as I graduate from University. I enjoy solo travelling as I feel like that frees my spirit the most.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Biked (on a bicycle) to Ithaca, New York from Toronto in 3 days.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a lot about knives, not in a sick way. I like everything about knives, the steel composition, the sharpening technique, the history, the structure... In fact, that's about the only thing that I watch on YouTube nowadays. If anything, I can teach you how to maintain your knife with hair-popping sharpness with nothing but a mug. I hope this is not too scary, but I think a pocket knife is a backpacker's best friend. And you know what they say "a sharp knife is a safe knife."

Peace~
