About Me

PHILOSOPHY
Life is only so long and the world is only so big. Explore everything it has to offer

ABOUT ME
I'm a mechanical engineer from Vancouver, Canada with a passion for the outdoors and an insatiable curiosity for new cultures.
Mountain biking in the summer, skiing in the winter, and beer all year round. Nothing's better than laughing with friends, sharing stories, meeting new people and travelling whenever time (and my wallet) will allow it

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've only surfed a few times but ended up getting very wet. Now I'm eager to surf with a roof over my head!
I believe the only true way to experience new cultures is by staying with locals. I'm excited to meet some amazing folks and make some new friends all over the world.

Interests

Any outdoor activity is an instant yes in my books. Mountain biking, road biking, running, downhill skiing, ski touring, camping, hiking, surfing, wake boarding, the list goes on. Bars and breweries are also high on my list.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a fan of any and all music, especially rock, old school rap, electronic and indie.

As far as books go, I'm currently reading one called The Great Equations, so that's probably all you need to know about that haha.

My favorite movies include Star Wars, Super Troopers, The Bourne Identity, The Great Escape, the original Italian Job, and pretty much every other movie. As far as TV is concerned, I think I've seen every episode of Top Gear at least 3 or 4 times.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ask me about the time I rode an abandoned ferris wheel in Berlin!

Teach, Learn, Share

TEACH
Ask me anything and I'll be willing to help!

LEARN
I love hearing stories about peoples' adventures, learning about local culture and history, and literally anything science related. Like, seriously, anything.

SHARE
Let me buy you a beer! Or wine. Or coffee. Or tea. Or water. Or a shot. Whatever floats your boat!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm an enthusiastic, fun loving and very polite guest! I love making new friends and learning about other's life experiences. Plus, I'm very willing to trade food, booze and vacuuming for shelter. I look forward to meeting you and including you in some amazing future adventures!
