Easy going guy from small town Canada who's out to see the world. ΣΧ ΔΟ Chapter; AFSer (Canada -> Italy 2011-2012). Always interested in talking about politics, world views, and generally anything that I don't know anything about. At the same time, I try not to take life too seriously, and would be more than happy to shotgun a beer (or 5) with you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I try my best to see place from the views of locals (or at least not in a conventional way). By staying in someone's home and eating with them, you gain a true insight into the heart of a people. While staying in hostels are cool and all, it often leads you to spending time with the same type of people (travellers).

Interests

Hiking, rock-climbing, going to museums, politics, world affairs, sightseeing, doing new things, art, reading, music, shisha, and trying everything at least once.
