Overview
About Me
I am a 24-year-old recently graduated civil engineer. I work on a light rail transit project in Ottawa, ON, Canada. I've lived in Ottawa my whole life but I have traveled all over North America (except Mexico) and some of Europe.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Traveled around Europe for two and a half months. Jumped out of a plane in the Swiss alps. Drove the whole ring road around Iceland.
Teach, Learn, Share
I know Ottawa pretty well. I speak English fluently and some French. I would love to learn Spanish, German or Russian. I usually have a fridge full of beer that I don't mind exchanging for good company. I enjoy BBQing for people as well.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Local knowledge of Ottawa. Lots of nature nearby that I love to show off to non-Canadians and Canadians too. I can share some beer, perhaps some whiskey. I have been known to cook meals for friends. Always willing to have a conversation, whether it be small talk or large philosophical ideas.
