About Me

CURRENT MISSION

CANADA

ABOUT ME

I'm 22, 6'1, brown hair, blue eyes, not fat, not athletic, preetty average lookin really :)
I'm a little shy at first but i promise im awesome. I hold my friends and family dearest to me above all. I'm a big goof who loves to make people laugh. I still havent found my calling in life yet but im always on the look out.
When I finished school i decided Living off my parents and amassing debt at university wasn't how i wanted to spend my time, so I moved in to the work force and have had jobs of all kinds. I worked for an ISP Call center, a hardware store, i was an electrician, I helped repopulate NZ with native bush and I was even a door to door salesman for a time. then the recession came and suddenly young people couldn't any kind of good work, so I started saving, bought a one way ticket, quit my job and left for California, where I have been since November 2011.
Now my Travels have lead me to Vancouver BC, where I hope to be living and working for the next year. Im really looking forward to getting to know the city and its inhabitants. I can't wait to meet all the new Canadians friends I'm going to make.

PHILOSOPHY

be Excellent to Everyone

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well im still new to this whole couchsurfing thing. would happily host anyone back home and have yet to surf anyones couch yet via this website.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Ive been couchsurfing around northern california since november 2011

Interests

I like good music, videogames, sports, beer, hanging out with friends and making new ones, i love good food and can cook really well when i put my mind to it.
Im not hugely into sight seeing although i do enjoy it, i travel more with meeting the people of the area in mind, getting to know locals and discovering whats good through them.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all kinds of music, but lately ive been on a 90's hiphop kick with some death metal on the side.

I love movies but asking me to pick some is way to hard

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When i was 17 i rode an elephant up a cobblestone path leading to a huge fortress on top of a big hill in northern india. it was rad.
