I love nature and getting to know new people with different backgrounds and cultures. You can learn so much from others and their experiences by listening to them. I seek to have a deeper understanding of nature and people and just have fun with new people and share a special short-lived moment.
I also really love food. Eating is one of my favourite activities and one of the reasons I travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travelled for a year in 2014 to a few different countries to really try and get to know more than just Canada. It was an amazing time and I got to meet wonderful people on the way. I'll be travelling for the first time in a long time with my partner and we're exploring Italy! I'm so excited to experience this new culture and eat all of the food!

Interests

I love to paint, write stories, play tennis, bike, and walk around in nature. I'm very athletic and love to run around and discover new things.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies:
I love pretty much any movie by Wes Anderson, the Coen Brothers, and David Lynch. You will never catch me dead watching a romantic comedy...unless I really like you. Then I'll suffer through it. But I'll hate you a little bit too.

I'm a huge fan of horror movies (even though I'm the first to admit the plot is usually terrible and so on and so forth. It's a guilty pleasure.)

Books:
There are a lot. Lord of the Rings, The hobit, the Road, Oryx and Crake, The Art of Asking, Brave New World, 1984, the left hand of darkness.
Anything by Kurt Vonnegut, Philip K. Dick, Albert Camus, Socrates and Plato

Stories are swell. I really like dystopians and Science Fiction novels.

Music:

Jazz and the blues are marvellous, I listen to a lot of different types of music but here are some of my favourite bands:

Andrew Bird, Belle and Sebastian, Beach House, Beirut, blur, the Beatles, Billy Joel, Bill Evans, Brian Eno, Cake, Cat Stevens, Cat Empire, David Bowie, David Byrnes, St Vincent, Ella Fitzgerald, Jim O' Rourke, Julie London, Frank Sinatra, Fleet Foxes, Foo Fighters, Miles Davis, Mac De Marco, Man Man, Pomplamoose, Laurie Anderson, The Velvet Underground, Nico, Neko Case, Neil Young, The magnetic Fields, Neutral Milk Hotel, Queen, Tom Waits, Supertramp. Weezer.

There is a lot more but you get the point.
