About Me

Hola folks,
I'm a Fine Art graduate from Calgary, hoping to become an Architect. I grew up literally in the middle of nowhere, so now that I have a bit more freedom to roam, thats exactly what I intend to do! I studied abroad a few years ago and it did little to quench my travel thirst.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Trying to travel and see as much as I can before I kick the bucket AND if I can do that affordably while meeting new people, perfect!

Interests

Lover of live music, sushi, museums & art galleries, ANY wine really, beer -the darker the better, early morning bikes/hikes (although a rarity due to my night owl habits), a good cuppa joe, scoping out old buildings, and I enjoy taking pictures with my little plastic camera every now and then :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Some tunes I'm listening to at the moment include.. Bonobo, BadBadNotGood, Caribou, St. Vincent, Gabriel Garzon Montano, Toro Y Moi, Tycho - just to name a few

Films that get me every time.. Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Eternal Sunshine, Her, Melancholia, Across the Universe, Closer, The Fall.. really anything with a beautiful love story and stunning visuals. Always keep come back to Cohen Brothers, Tarantino & Von Trier.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once touched my right elbow with my right hand, but just the once.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd be happy to help anyone improve their English. I'm also self taught on guitar and would love to jam or pass along a few things I've picked up over the years.

Also always open to music swap, its nice to hear what others are passionate about- maybe we'll have similar tastes :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Lets chat, laugh, explore, and swap some stories, perhaps over stout? ;)
