Hey all, my name is Jason and I was born and raised in Vancouver, Canada. I'm very outgoing and love meeting new people. In 2013-14, I made my first solo trip to Korea and Japan for 8 months and had the time of my life sightseeing and meeting people from all over the world. In 2015, I was in Australia for a year on a Working Holiday Visa and right after that I went backpacking throughout South East Asia for 6 months :) I've been back home in Vancouver for the past 2 years managing a coffee shop but now am ready to head out and start traveling again. Very happy, positive and outgoing attitude. Excited to meet you all!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people and learn about their way of life and to share with them mine as well :) Also, no $$$ hehe

Interests

I love sports and basketball and ice hockey are my absolute favourites. In my spare time I like to learn new languages and learn how to play new instruments. Outdoor activities are also up on the list and I enjoy reading a good book once in a while. Very much a movie goer/buff. Video games too :) I like taking pictures also! Ask me about my Instagram or website I'm working on!
