About Me
ABOUT ME
I am a very sociable person that likes to experience new stuff, rarely get upset and enjoy good company. Love to debate about things over a beverage or go on a spontaneous adventure. I enjoy helping people and to share my thoughts on related subjects.
PHILOSOPHY
If you do what you love, you will never work a day in your life.
Everything will be all right in the end. If it's not all right, it's not the end.
In great conversations the jokes are small, but the laughter is in abundance.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I surf and host whenever I can. Also, would help where I can whether it is giving a ride to someone or eating the cookie dough.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Went for my first CS potluck in London, ON where I met some great friends. After that, I drove almost every weekend to meet up with all the CS in London to do various things from camping to watching a live rugby match and then go dancing at a street festival afterwards.
