CURRENT MISSION

Spread smiles and laughter like a rampant disease.

ABOUT ME

I'm very outgoing, open-minded, social, kind-hearted and am always up for a new adventure.

I'm also fairly nerdy with a great sense of humour. Don't be surprised to hear a few lame jokes while you're around. I'm very well acquainted with sarcasm and witty puns.

I've often been told that my laugh is contagious.

I currently work in marketing and graphic design full-time and work as a freelance writer on the side so I can become quite busy at times however I am more than happy to welcome new people into my home, even for extended lengths of time.

PHILOSOPHY

I am forever an optimist who tries to stay positive at all times.

It's the little things in life that make the day, like achieving the perfect milk to cereal ratio. Just awesome!

I also firmly believe in trying everything at least once that way when death comes knocking at my door, this time I won't have any regrets. White water rafting in Ottawa, check! Parasailing in Dominican Republic, check! Bungee jumping, check! Sky-diving, check!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am willing to do all that I can in order to make someone feel welcome into my home. I am more than happy to show you around the city, indulge in great food and deep yet humorous conversation. I do however also understand that while on the road you may be tired and in need of space to yourself and time to plan the remainder of your trip. I'm easy going and therefore willing to accommodate.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted couch surfers in the past through some of the roommates that I've had in the past. I loved it as I love meeting new people and have as a result of it made some really great friends whom I still keep in touch with on a regular basis.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've stayed overnight at the Ice Hotel in Quebec. I've ridden on the tallest and fastest roller coaster in the world. I've gone parasailing, white water rafting, zip-lining, bungee jumping and sky-diving.

Teach, Learn, Share

We both fluently speak French and English and are learning Spanish and Polish. Although my brothers Spanish would be considered intermediate.

I love to cook!

My brother can juggle!

I want to learn as much as possible about your country and your culture.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My brother and I are not the kind of guests that are expecting you to be waiting on us hand and foot. We are very easy-going and will have no problems exploring the area on our own.
