ABOUT ME

Hello! My name is Justin, and I am currently an incoming medical student at the University of Ottawa in Ontario, Canada. I love to travel, get lost, meet new people, and hear what they have to say.

My friends would describe me as a laid-back guy, easy to get along with and have a good time. I like to think that I somewhat have a sense humour, but I'll let you be the judge.

PHILOSOPHY

I tend to always look at the bright side in scenarios, giving people the benefit of the doubt.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am relatively new in the couch surfing realm, however I look forward to becoming more involved. I think that the concept is brilliant.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first couch surfing experience was in Dresden, Germany, where we stayed with a very kind couple. I honestly had no idea what to expect, but my friend assured me that couchsurfing was a very cool way to meet people, see the city, etc. All-in-all, the trip was fantastic, our hosts showed us a great time, and we made some great friends.
