ABOUT ME

I'm a PhD Student in African Politics and Political Theory and a partner at a small consultancy firm. Also a music nerd and an ex-computer programmer. I like puns a lot.

PHILOSOPHY

"When in doubt, leave the country."

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host and surf, used to organize a weekly pub night in Montreal, but have been travelling since April 2011, so I kind of let that slide...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted, surfed across Europe and Africa and met some great people at our weekly pub night - I can't wait to get back to Montreal to start that up again!

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Worked in Morondava, Madagascar teaching doctors how to use computers. Managed to lose both my bank cards while travelling in South Africa and still survive. Put my feet in three oceans on one trip.

教，学，和分享

I can teach political science, and I actually enjoy teaching political philosophy. Plato to Foucault, I'm your man. I can also teach bad guitar, mediocre dj-ing, better cooking, and a thing or two about Scotch. I am also a computer programmer, if you're looking for some marketable skills.
