ABOUT ME
I'm on a mission to live life to the maximum! School is going to be my primary focus for the next 2 years: I'm studying Management and Engineering of Energy and Environment. The perfect amalgamation of some of my interests.
My secondary mission is music. I love to play instruments of all sorts with all kinds of people.
I am very interested in bicycle culture and am hooked on gardening. I love people, I am open minded and thrive in supportive social settings.
I enjoy talking about interesting stuff, sitting in parks, bicycle rides, exploring, make food, playing music and really life in general.
PHILOSOPHY
I strive to live a life filled with love, thats what makes me happy.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I plan to participate in the CS project by offering friendship and motivation. I want to share what I'm interested in and listen to the people that I meet. I would love to promote healthy living, community building, and meaningful relationships.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I am new to "couchsurfing" but i have spent traveled around and stayed at friends places. Montreal is probably my fondest memory. I would visit my good friends in Montreal pretty much every summer while I was working on my BSc. Our days always consisted of great food cooking, awesome conversation, meeting up with friends and exploring the city.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I started up a bicycle maintenance program for homeless people in the Edmonton city centre. Applied for grants, bought tools and held workshops. The program provided individuals with access to bicycle specific tools and training so that they could continue to bike as there primary mode of transportation.
