Some of my friends describe me as uber-rational, the others describe me as crazy. I guess you could say that I find the extremes on either end the most worthwhile. You want to sit down and have a philosophical conversation for 4 hours? Let’s do it. You want to go to some underground club that only lets you in naked? I’m in. Who knows what you’ll think of me when I stay with you, one thing is for certain, it won’t be boring.

I am a university student located in Edmonton, Canada completing my final year of a bachelor's degree in economics and psychology. In the months of May through October I run a painting company that specializes in the exterior painting of homes. Most of my free time is spent reading, playing sports, and travelling. I also enjoy yoga, cooking and eating out in new restaurants and going for long walks.

I don’t smoke or do drugs but I do enjoy an evening out to a concert, bar or restaurant for good food, music and conversation 😊

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am always excited when a friend from abroad comes to visit Edmonton and I get the opportunity to show them around the city and converse with them about their experiences in their own country.

If you’re in Edmonton in the winter I can show you the 3 things there is to do.. if you’re here in the summer buckle up and prepare for a good time.

Love hearing about little things to do from locals that would otherwise be unknown to me.. especially the weird ones

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Started a business from scratch

Teach, Learn, Share

Can teach you about the human mind and the fallacies in reason we commonly make. I can then show you some of those fallacies in action later in the evening

I am learning German and am always interested in listening to what others do. Teach me anything. I’ll sit there like a good school-child and listen for hours.
