About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Find incredible people and things everywhere I go, and go everywhere I can.

ABOUT ME

I work at an international music venue, and sometimes as a fabricator of museum exhibits for kids. I also help organize and teach programs in ceramic arts for adults and I am in school part time to learn more about things that excite me like geology, chemistry, math, and more!

Collector of hobbies, watchmaker, artist, music lover.
I am a bit shy and often quiet, but I love meeting people and getting to know all about them!
I don't eat meat. I do drink beer. Easy going and interested in everything. I like hanging out, going out, or just being in good places.

PHILOSOPHY

Respect.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couch surfed for the first time in Montreal in 2012. It was a fantastic experience filled with surprises and wonders and the best people anyone could ask for. Have since couch surfed in Ireland, the Netherlands, Belgium, and France!

Interests

I'm interested in many, many things. If you love something and want to talk about it in-depth then I usually want to learn about it too!

I enjoy listening to and playing music, crafting objects of all sorts, practical and otherwise, creating art in ceramics, learning fascinating things about the world around me, brewing beer because it is delicious and wonderful, riding my bicycle all over town, experiencing nature (and maybe eating some of it when the opportunity arises), and best of all hanging out with and meeting the wonderful, surprising and beautiful people whom I have had the fortune to cross paths with.
