ABOUT ME

Life became so much more interesting, challenging and intriguing when I realized it really exists outside of the 9-5 working (wo)man's world.

I adore solitude as much as I love to socialize.... Silence is as golden as my favourite albums.

I am continuously learning and reinventing my understandings of the world and its workings on a daily basis. The attainment of real knowledge and truth are good things, so I love exchanging thoughts and ideas with others and having intense conversations..

I like music

I grew up in the wilderness so nature is my savior and solace. With that said, I have a deep respect for the world and every form of life inhabiting it. I am an animal trying to live in coexistence with every other animal in his habitat of choice.

As much as I admire a good plan, I can't predict the future so I try not to. The greatest adventures are often impulsive. We are all born free.

I'm a papa so you'll have to be ok with kids if you want to crash chez nous.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in and try to act upon trust, openness, honesty and empathy in every form of interaction. I try to inspire enliven these things those I meet. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. Life is a performance and art is therapy :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host surfers when I have space available or I will redirect surfers to my friend's houses when I'm unable to host :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

-Traveling through BC, setting up my hammock, in backyards, sleeping in until the sun shines bright enough to sweat me out of sleep.
-Surfing in Europe, birthday bagpipe parties in the mountains. Brutal mornings. European moonshine is killer. Stay away.

I've been hosting travelers in my loft/room/home with nothing but positive experiences.
