CURRENT MISSION

To see the world, step foot on all 7 continents. To experience new cultures and ways of life. To meet new people, making life-long friendships along the way.

ABOUT ME

I am a Canadian continually seeking out new worldly experiences. I work in Finance, enjoy outdoor activities and spending time with family and friends.

I have had the great fortune of living abroad (Singapore) and making great friends from all over the world. I am part of couch surfing to continue to meet locals from the regions that I travel to and to learn from them.

PHILOSOPHY

If you can dream it, You can achieve it.

“Do you know what a foreign accent is? It's a sign of bravery.”

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.”

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
