Overview
About Me
I'm 24 years old from Canada. Recently quit my job as an aerospace engineer to pursue the questions of life, and to serve humanity the best I can. I love music, nature, travel, meditation, psychology, philosophy, comedy, advocating for safe and fair drug usage, good times with mates, questioning the universe and having a laugh. Above all I love to learn, explore and live in the moment. Let's share some life together.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
To connect with other cultures, to learn about the world and travel in an authentic manner, to have important conversations to progress thought and propagate love and rationality.

Music, Movies, and Books
I enjoy almost everything musically. Lately it has been a lot of techno. Nahko bear and medecine for the people, Xavier Rudd and Trevor Hall have been mainstays for quite a while.
The writings and philosophy of Carl Jung have had a profound effect on me. Joseph Campbell, Nietzsche. Some old favourites are: Flowers for Algernon, A Fine Balance, East of Eden, Siddhartha
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Ingested frog poison; Kambo in the Peruvian amazon. Standing Rock pipeline protest. Two day climb of Los Nevados in Colombia on a whim. Backpacking Colombia for two months was incredible. Did a 3 day solo canoe trip with no food in a Canadian provincial park, a practice known as a vision fast that was, for me, very profound.
The people I have met along the way have been the greatest gifts.
Teach, Learn, Share
Can teach basic music, and some mindfulness philosophy and meditation.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can share some laughs and some good times, I can cook you a decent meal and I would love to jam a few songs if you're into that!
