ABOUT ME

I was born in England, but moved to Canada when I was five. I have lived in Southern Ontario, and Alberta, then I moved out to Vancouver a few years ago. I moved to Torino, Italy to work and was there for eight months. At the beginning of summer I moved to Victoria.

PHILOSOPHY

Live in the present.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I send the requests off and wait for the responses. Now I have a couch again, I hope the requests will come to me too.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed a futon for two nights in Bologna, with my fellow Cs bud, Ashley. Then again, another night while I was visiting Roma last February. While in Florence, I surfed a sofa for a night.

Teach, Learn, Share

An Elephant takes in 9 litres of water in a single slurp with its nose. But loses 1/5 of what it takes in every hour.

Pineapple juice mixed with sand is great for cleaning boat decks and machete blades.
