CURRENT MISSION

Play; make fun.

ABOUT ME

Maia: I'm an art student who specifically works in oil painting, printmaking, and drawing. I love animals: at home in Saskatoon I keep two dogs and two geckos and a hedgehog. I also like board games, video games, and watching horror movies. I drink a lot of coffee.

Andrew: I have a loud laugh. I write short stories and play a lot of games. I make my money as a massage therapist and I spend that money being a philosophy student. Sometimes I listen to music. I drink more than I think I do. I really like meaningful conversation. I am bad at chit chat.

PHILOSOPHY

We're interested in visiting places through the eyes of people who live there.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
