Hi i'm Phil! I will be backpacking Europe this spring starting in Scotland and ending in Italy. I am currently in my 4th year of University and this will be my first semester that I will be taking off, so I decided to travel. I'm a very big sports fan and I love a competitive environment. While travelling, I want to attend a music festival, a sporting event, and see the history that any place has to offer. I love learning about world war history, and visiting sites with an valuable and important past. I'd like to think that i'm funny, conservative, generous and respectful. I also love people who can entertain a good intellectual conversation.
I'm a fully licensed commercial pilot and I love talking about the industry, weather patterns, environmental issues etc

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A lot of people I have talked to about backpacking have suggested this site, because it leads to awesome connections and experiences from people who know the area well.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favourite genre of music will most likely be Blues, or smooth rock, although I can really listen to just about everything other than country.
Favourite movie is by far Step-Brothers, and the close contenders being any Will Farrell movie.
As for books, I only have time to stick my head in the 500+ page textbooks required for university.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Received my commercial license for airplanes. Once I finish school, I expect to be working as a Pilot. My dream is to work for Air Canada or any large commercial air service company.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Funny stories, an insight into the Aviation industry and how planes work, theory of flight, and good conversation! I also clean up after myself and will make sure to leave somewhere in a better condition than when I came!
