Friendly gay Canadian here looking to meet awesome like minded people from around the world! I've been all over the place and have some crazy stories to share.

A little about myself: I'm currently working as a Med/Surgery Nurse in Winnipeg, Manitoba (aka Winterpeg). I'm not a party animal but I do enjoy a drink or two. I'm a nerd at heart. I love music, science, politics, world issues and history. I'm very open minded and love talking about all sorts of things from spirituality and religion, to human rights, psychology and the human condition.

My philosophy is to treat others as you would like to be treated and to leave the world a better place.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet new people, see new places and experience different cultures first hand. Someday I would love to return the favour and host in my own country. Canada is beautiful!
