Hello! My name is Richard and I am a 20 year old from Canada. I'm not the most experienced traveler but I do pretty well on my own. I do however enjoy experiencing new places with others to understand it from another point of view. I was studying communications, but decided to take a break from school to travel and will be studying nursing when I return.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Currently I am traveling for four months and while it would be amazing to save some money on accommodation, I would love to be able to have a local tell me where the best places to go are or even better to take me there. And I mean who doesn't like to make new friends all over the world?

Interests

I love to experience and explore new cities, just wandering around and finding little shops and cafes is one of my favourite things to do. I also enjoy learning new languages and am always using some kind of app to learn when I have spare time.
