About Me

I have lived in Canada most of my life without really travelling, Just school and work dominated my life with sometimes vacationing in cottages in northern Ontario or in Florida. This past year, however, I was given the incredible opportunity to travel much of Europe while living in both Italy and Austria for extended periods of time. It has been a blessing, because I've been able to meet so many amazing people. And that's really what I'm all about. Meeting new people; cherishing cool new experiences together. People say I'm a kind, funny guy. I'll let you be the judge of that ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In my travels, it's been the people I've met that have given me the greatest joy. I've enjoyed experiences in hostels and airbnbs, but this would be my first time trying out couchsurfing as a way to meet new people and hope to call them friends.

Interests

Swimming, tennis, nature walks (argh, my poor legs!), board games (maybe staying up all night playing them), enjoying fine company.
