Like many folks, I have a multitude of fleeting interests. Some stick. Every day is different. Every breath is a new opportunity.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I have hosted surfers for several years and have surfed plenty in Toronto and NE US.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
My family has hosted several people from various parts of the world in my childhood. And I think that they are a good example for that reason - they are hospitable. From these experiences I have met some pretty amazing people and have learned about many different cultures.
My first hosting experience by myself was with three guys from Brazil, Japan, and Germany back in October of 2009.
I hosted four folks from the Toronto area in Summer of 2012 and have been friends with them since. I've also surfed in Toronto and made new friends as well.

Music, Movies, and Books
Anything that is visually or pragmatically thought-provoking or insightful or unique. As far as music goes, I would also go for a dope beat or rhythm sans lyrics.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
In college, I had a couple places where I would go in the middle of the night to breathe spiritually. I would like to find places like this all over the world.
