CURRENT MISSION

Stockpiling karma for a rainy day

ABOUT ME

Well, I was born and raised in Victoria, BC. I spent a lot of time talking with the folks who hang out in the CS Chat when I first joined the site. I caught the traveling bug during the summer of '08 when I visited Germany, and took part in the Berlin Beach Camp, meeting tons of travelers and some of the site's moderators.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that one should always strive to better themselves and seek out new experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted, I've surfed, I've attended massive meet-ups and little local ones.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed across Europe a couple times and hosted a number of travelers.

Interests

I have a huge interest in film. I used to work at a nice little movie store. I also start going a little crazy if I'm not plodding my way through a good novel. I can pick up most things and get pretty good at them. Surfing, fire spinning, things like that. I've worked with wine and spirits for several years, I've got some formal education and always enjoy chatting booze.

Music, Movies, and Books

It's good to leave some things to chat about when we meet. I spend a lot of time with books and movies, so if you want to find a good one of either, let me know.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The great thing about life is that it never ceases to amaze.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've got a pretty good vocabulary in English, so I'm probably a good person to chat with if it's your second (or third) language.

I'd really like to learn other languages, but I haven't yet. Perhaps you could teach me a few phrases in yours.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Some good conversation over a nice bottle of wine.

Countries I’ve Visited

Belgium, Canada, Germany, Netherlands, United Kingdom
