I'm currently a student studying at Douglas College (headed to UBC to finish my degree), majoring in International Relations with a focus on diplomacy and social development, and have a particular fascination with Asian politics. I love meeting new people, because sharing stories and laughs is one of life's greatest joys. I also play a lot of music, I even busk occasionally! I've always figured that above all else, good food and good people are paramount in life. I'm always up for a conversation, I love hearing new stories, and learning new things. Always a respectful guest.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to go out and experience new lands different from my own. I've never traveled outside Canada and the USA, and would like to change that. I would like to meet many people around the world, and hear their stories and experience their culture, and Couchsurfing seems like the best way to do that.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I bicycled from my home in Port Coquitlam to the UBC campus on a whim.

Teach, Learn, Share

“There are not more than five musical notes, yet the combinations of these five give rise to more melodies than can ever be heard.
There are not more than five primary colours, yet in combination they produce more hues than can ever been seen.
There are not more than five cardinal tastes, yet combinations of them yield more flavours than can ever be tasted.”
- Sun Tzu

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm great at carrying a conversation, knowledgeable on a variety of topics. I'd love to cook for you, time permitting. If my host ever came to Vancouver I'd be more than happy to return their favour and give them my couch.
