Hallo!

I'm Matthew! I'm friendly because I'm from Canada, I'm clean because I lived with my grandmother for a year, and I'm fun because I needed to put a third quality and make this intro try to sound special and unique.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet like-minded individuals who realize that everybody just wants to be loved and accepted for who they are :-]

Interests

- Thinking about how to fit eating pizza into a weekly budget; (7/3 update–I haven't had it for two weeks now :-( )

- Waiting for the next adorable animal video to come up on my Youtube suggested videos;

- Movies, and also quoting popular movie lines from actors that I like, but only when no one is looking.

Music, Movies, and Books

A book that's readable within a month;

A song that can be listened to more than once in a day;

A movie that makes me want to watch it again and again.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Participated in a spider-phobia study, which included, but wasn't limited to, a giant spider. The hairs were maybe 3-4 cm long. I had a high box full of equipment to help overcome the fear of touching it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to teach, I teach1 yr olds – adolescents. I love babies, I discovered a hidden talent to get babies to like me. Einstein once said: if you really understand something, then you can explain it to a child. I believe in that.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I make very good breakfast, cheesy grilled cheese topped with fried red bell peppers or grilled eggplants, creamy eggs on toast with basil and spicy sauce with Italian tomatoes and maybe some fresh cheese

Or, poutine if you'd like to try authentic Canadian cuisine.
