About Me

I come from a small town and have not gotten the opportunity to expand my horizons by traveling.

I am a filmmaker. And I work countless other small and odd jobs including being a barista and a bartender.

I am pretty quiet and keep to myself but I really enjoy meeting new people. I know a lot of people, so I probably come off sort of extraverted, but I am deeply an introvert.

Aside from film, coffee and culture are other passions of mine. I like to coffee shop hop; visit all the best coffee shops in the area.

And I would love to see what the night scene has to offer. Socially drinking with friends, I enjoy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking for someone to host me for a visit to Montreal!

I am planning on visiting Montreal in maybe March in prospect for possibly moving there later in the year or next year.

So I really want to take in Montreal, see what it has to offer, and if it is a right fit for me.

Slightly obsessed with Murakami!
