CURRENT MISSION

To Tattoo My Image (On the World)

ABOUT ME

i'm a friendly and good-hearted guy, like any Canadian, exploring the world to meet other people and learn about other cultures. What matters most to me though is making special and meaningful friendships that will last a lifetime. i'm quie laid back, and i'd take a night of sitting outside with some drinks and good company over hitting the club scene any day. i'm also a vegetarian.

PHILOSOPHY

Be authentic.
Be humble.
Learn something from everyone.
Watch how you treat every living soul.
Spread love.
Make tiny changes to earth.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i try to participate and be involved in any way that i can. for now, since i'm settled here and working, it means hosting and meeting up with other CSer's.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i was part of CS early on, hosting and surfing, but had to give it up once school/life got too overwhelming. but i'm back and my eyes and arms are wide open in search of anything and anyone meaningful.
