I grew up on a small farm just outside a small little sleepy town where everyone knows everyone. I have lived in and around Edmonton for most of my life adult life but I have traveled around a bit and lived a year in Sydney, Australia, and have lived in Toronto the last 4.5 years while completing my degree in construction management and am now moving back to Edmonton to be closer to family.
I like meeting people, all kinds of people from everywhere with different passions and interests that are willing to share their stories and experiences with me. I can get along with pretty much anybody as long as you're a decent human that treats people with respect.
Things I like to do include camping, live music at pubs, board/card games, social sports, hot tubs, karaoke, dancing, quadding, pretty much anything that's not boring.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat others the way you would want to be treated, especially if given the opportunity to help someone in a way they can't help themselves. addnedum to this point, treat others the way they want to be treated because they may have a different life experience than yours and sometimes treating them the way you want to be treated might be rude for them.

Build up a huge supply of brownie points or good karma because you never know when you might need it.

Experience everything you can while you're still young enough to appreciate it.

Never say no to the chance for e new experience, especially if its out of your comfort zone!

Would you believe that some people are so poor, all they have is money!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Seeing Uluru and Kings Canyon in central Australia was pretty cool too!

Underwater wedding in Thailand which was pretty sweet to see!

Machu Picchu!

Teach, Learn, Share

hmm, would love to show people how to 2 step country style! If I'm able, would love to take guests canoeing or camping or out to my parents farm to get away from the city and maybe do a little farmwork if you want!
I want to learn all I can from anyone willing to teach!
