About Me

Hey there, I'm a young Canadian living in Spain working as a translator. Mostly work during the week and attempt to go out and see places on the weekends. I enjoy languages, sports, among other things. If you want to know more, hit me up.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing to share traveling with other people, and I think it's a great idea to connect people and change what the concept of traveling involves: hotel after hotel. More people become closer, and everyone wins.

Interests

  • reading
  • traveling
  • tennis
  • swiming

Music, Movies, and Books

Definitely tough to sum up these categories...

Music: R&B, Teddy Pendergrass, Stevie Wonder, Clarence Carter, Levert, etc.

Movies: Mostly comedy (Ricky Gervais, Will Ferrell) but I do enjoy a more serious film as well.

Books: Science fiction (Wells), older authors (Donne, Shelley, Douglass), playwrights (Shakespeare, etc.)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Saw the great cause of Pompeii's destruction: Mt. Vesuvius. Seeing its crater closer with a barrel stopper like ash is haunting when you realize what lies below is capable of spitting out balls of fiery lava.

Teach, Learn, Share

Would enjoy sharing my views on the environment, social institutions, way of living, eating habits, etc. with people around the world to see how we all think differently.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm an organized and honest guy that only wishes to be able to see new countries while meeting new people.

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, Canada, Cuba, Dominican Republic, England, Italy, Spain, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In

Canada, Spain
