26-year-old Canadian freelance writer and percussionist traveling through France to improve my French.

I'm a relaxed, adventurous and open-minded person who enjoys new experiences and meeting new people. I'm the kind of guy you'd bring to a party and lose after a while cause I'm making rounds meeting your friends!

I love exploring arts scenes, including live music, comedy, theatre - really any cultural event. I also love the outdoors and enjoy hiking, camping, canoeing - you name it.

There isn't much I won't try.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One of my favourite parts of travelling is meeting locals, learning from them and their cultures, and discovering places through their perspective.

Also, people who are interested in sharing these experiences with travellers tend to be the kind of warm, open-minded people that I connect well with.
