About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See the Americas! In the least most impactful way (ask me it'll probably make more sense)

ABOUT ME

A usually energetic and enthusiastic outdoorsy dude, I love to relax after a hard days hiking or tasting new foods in new cities or towns. Subsistent living and survival really interest me, I have no where near enough knowledge about either! Oh, Surfing and basically anything to do with the ocean gets me excited.

PHILOSOPHY

Experiencing life through the endless amounts secondhand information and stimulation just isn't enough! I love to be immersed in it all, well most of it anyway.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To experience the places I visit with the knowledge of those that already live there. I hope one day to be in a position to offer my couch for up for regular visits! So I can return the favour that people have shown to me over the years.

Interests

Surfing, fishing, snowboarding hanging with friends, playing guitar, eating delicious and exotic foods, exercising, researching, learning, sustainability.

Music, Movies, and Books

Into the Wild, Schindler's List and many more I love great films and love to share and watch music and films. Books - the Alchemist, a language older than words, a new earth, a call to the wild, war and peace, white fang.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My world is amazing, I have experienced many amazing things in my young lifetime, but I have a feeling that I am going to experience a lot more before my time is up! I once hiked over a mountain range in Northern Nova Scotia for 4 days where I saw 7 moose and walked where very few have before, it was somewhat satisfying, and incredibly exhausting.

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe that my 'special knowledge' is in the natural world, I love to understand how and why things are the way they are and how they became to be the way they are I want to learn from anyone and everyone about anything and everything and I would love to share anything that I understand with whoever wants to listen.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cooking, cleaning, good times, deep talks, music.
