About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To experience as much as I possibly can, and make as many amazing stories as possible.

ABOUT ME

I grew up in the sunny Okanagan and lived through hot summers and cold winters. I spent my time swimming at the beaches and boarding down the slopes of various mountains. I played every kind of sport I could sign up for including: Soccer, Rugby, Football, Cross-Country, Track and Field, Basketball, Volleyball, and Swimming. When not playing or in school I was Lifeguarding at the local pool to makes some money.

After Grade 12 I moved to Victoria and started attending the University of Victoria. For first year I moved into residence, started partying, and watched my grades suffer. :) Second year I moved into a place of my own got my shit together, and still had the time of my life. Third year went by much the same a second and fourth year is in progress. I continue to play sports and have taken up an interest in the mentally and physically demanding aspects of martial arts.

In terms of future aspirations, I am planning on getting my CA designation, working around the world, and settling down somewhere to start my own firm. Other future endeavors include learning to sky dive, wind surf, scuba dive, and sail.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in experiencing as much as I possibly can. I want to make amazing stories, and create memories that will never be forgotten.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I believe CS is a very valuable tool for travelers. I have only recently stumbled across it here in Europe so I am not involved as much as I would like to be just yet. However I will certainly be making my own couch available when I return home and researching ways to contribute further.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have not yet had the benefit of experiencing CS yet.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

How do you define amazing? I have spent days in the wilderness and watched sunsets on top of mountains. On the other hand I have simply sat and held the hand of someone special. As far as I am concerned both are amazing and shaped who I have become. Amazing is a relative terms and can be found in the extraordinary as well as the ordinary.
