Hey, I'm a Canadian who's been travelling and teaching English. I'm living in Germany these days and absolutely loving it.

I grew up in NS, went off to University in Ottawa. Played a lot of rugby, then did a lot of taiji. Lately I've been practicing systema. I worked as an engineer for a few years, and got tired of it. English teaching and traveling is way more fun.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think the Couchsurfing project is a pretty cool one. I've usually just

Interests

Good times, great conversation and interesting people :)
Food of all shapes and sizes. Taiji, systema, rugby, camping, canoeing, kayaking, hiking, climbing and just rolling around in the grass (which is mostly what systema is anyways).

Music, Movies, and Books

Oh boy, Milan Kundera had been pretty consistent over the years. Other books have come and gone, for the most part.

As for movies: Fight Club, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Broken Embraces, and the Life Aquatic are a few favourites.

Music? Lots of Tom Waits, of course. Some Neil Young, Van Morrison and other singer-songwriters.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once became unstuck in time, only maybe I didn't.

Teach, Learn, Share

I feel like I know less and less as I keep learning, but I spose I could help anyone with any aerodynamics problems they might have, hah. Actually, on second thought, maybe we should leave that to the experts.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Jokes, some good times, and food if they've got a kitchen. My cooking has been getting better. I've been getting into a bunch of bodyweight strength training lately. I like talking about that sort of stuff.
