ABOUT ME

Im pretty laid back, an avid traveler, enjoy meeting new people and experiencing new things. I like coffee shop conversations, soccer, volleyball, and sailing. I play the guitar. I am from Vancouver Canada and am used to interacting with people from all different cultures.

I've couch surfed a couple of times now. Once in shanghai and once in Hong Kong. They were both great experiences and I hope to have many more.

PHILOSOPHY

carpe diem. Life is a journey, not a destination.
