I'm super easy going, very clean, and very low maintenance just looking to meet some awesome people.

I'm an avid downhill mountain biker and snowboarder who resides in Vancouver, BC Canada. I am currently going to grad school for computational electrochemistry studying platinum degradation in fuel cells. I'm also an international snowboard judge.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just joined couchsurfing.com but have been meaning too for a long time now but I kept forgetting about it until of course the time came to use it. I'm heading to Leeuwarden, The Netherlands for the 2015 European Summer School for Electrochemical Engineering and decided to extend my stay a bit because why not. I love meeting new people and hearing their story.

I also am hoping to be able to host people in the future to show them some bike trails around Vancouver area.
