About Me

I'm a life loving and very respectful dude. I really try and keep a positive outlook on everything. Oh and I love doing cool shit and bringing people along with me!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Some of my best travel experiences were shared with other travellers and locals that I met on the road. I want to enable other travellers to have that awesome experience, and in return I also want to go out and have these awesome times with strangers!

Music, Movies, and Books

If I had to chose one genre of music to listen to for the rest of my life I would have to chose electronic music. Its a huge genre I know but some of my favorite bands include: Air, Beck, Gunship, Moderat, Digitalism. Always open to discover new music.

I really love sci-fi books and adventure books. One of my favorite book series includes The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series. It just made me want to leave home and travel!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went on a week long canoe trip far out in the Canadian wilderness and played a Sherlock Holmes game on a hydro electric dam.
