About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To take to the skies!

ABOUT ME

I'm an inquisitive person
I'm always trying to open my mind more and more
I like to think things through with rational thought
I enjoy experiencing new cultures and international cuisine
I love sport and the outdoors
I am always striving to be lighter of heart
One day I would like to travel the world but for now bringing it to me is the closest I can get

PHILOSOPHY

Do onto others as you would have them do onto you
If you help improve a few peoples lives a great deal or help improve many lives a little bit than you can die feeling fulfilled
Hard work pays off
Its our responsibility to preserve our planet and to teach others our knowledge of this great task
Always leave something cleaner than you found it

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couch surfed in Montreal with Louis Philip and I had a great experience. I enjoyed a great meal with him and I played some ice hockey on the local rink with him.

I also couch surfed in Whistler BC with Alla, in the staff res. It was an awesome experience. It kinda reminded me of first year res. Couch surfing allowed us to meet some cool staff and get a prime location close to the ski hill.

I also met a few people through couch surfing when they came to do an exchange at my uni.
