CURRENT MISSION

Escaping the cultural wasteland of suburban Canada to become a free-spirited couchsurfer...and accidentally falling into a couple barrels of booze along the way

ABOUT ME

I'm 27 years old and just left Canada for the first time in May of this year. I'm very open minded, and a weird mix of cheerful and cynical which I enjoy.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in quality over quantity when it comes to people and experiences.
"There are two kinds of music. Good music, and the other kind" - Duke Ellington

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I go to couchsurfing events just to meet new people, but when I go back to Canada I would like to start hosting.

Interests

comedy, art nouveau, body art, weird music (literally any genre as long as its good stuff), nature and biology, jewelry making and other crafty things, hoppy beers, dry red wine, gemology, cynicism and skepticism, trying to learn thai
