About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Complete School, Try New Things, Explore, Smile

ABOUT ME

Easy going. I like to joke around, take things in, try new things, meet new people. My parents were flight attendants so I've a travelled a bit. I've run with many different crowds from conservative mormons, to university fratboys, montreal LGTBQ community organizers, and Deadheads. It's a wonderful world and I'd like to experience as much of it as I can.

PHILOSOPHY

Learn, explore, be yourself, be as good as you can be, and take it easy on yourself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't couchsurfed yet, but many of my friends have and I have heard very positive reviews. I have traveled. I've been to Italy, France, England, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Canada, and USA.

I've also gone around with a bunch of free spirits, like doing a stint on tour with a couple of dead heads one summer, and joining a nudist colony / club in northern Quebec. Also I have traditionally used hostels when travelling.

I feel like the past experiences should have prepared me for being a good guest and respectufl of peoples boundaries when I'm in their home, or when they are in mine.

Interests

I enjoy fitness and anything using my body so yoga, weightlifting, hiking, and dancing are fun. I love to play squash and tennis, pretty much any racquet sport.

I am a bit of a gamer when I'm at home, love league of legends, Borderlands, and anything with Warhammer. I've been known to geek out about any of those things.

Enjoy walking around and exploring which I like to pair with photography.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love to read. Hemingway is my favorite author, East of Eden is my favorite book, and I just finished reading Slaughterhouse Five.

Music taste is across the map, weak in the areas of Rap and Heavy metal, strong in the areas of American Folk and indie rock.

Movies I like Indie Movies. Go out and see "The Fall" today if you haven't already. Most recent love is Interstellar.
