About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to be happy and so far so good!

ABOUT ME

I'm a pretty easy going guy, I like to laugh and have fun. I'm recently married and moved to Lloydminster Alberta Canada. I used this site/network quite extensively and have hosted quite a few people. I would like to jump back into the couchsurfing scene so I'm updating my profile.

I live my life the way I think it should be lived and I just think that it's all about making yourself and the people around you happy.

My ideal night would be sitting outside on a deck or patio, indulging in good conversation, sampling a variety of beers and maybe some live music.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to help people experience traveling without the cost and hassle of finding a bed to lay their head. I would also like to try it out sometime on my next adventures.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted a few times now and have had excellent experiences. I've backpacked through Europe a few times. I've also rented vehicles and trekked through a good chunk of the United States, but unfortunately I've never crashed on a couch. Maybe you can help me out with that.

Interests

I played junior and college hockey + lacrosse.
I love hiking the Rockies in Western Canada.
