ABOUT ME

I'm from Canada and have been working in Afghanistan on and off since 2010. Unfortunately, I'm not able to host due to my current living situation. On the other hand, I look forward to many opportunities to travel and occasionally meet people through CS. Despite being an introvert by nature I enjoy connecting with foreign cultures at a personal level. I respond well to people who are respectful, curious and hardly ever totally serious.

PHILOSOPHY

The Golden Rule.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A friend and I spent a few days with a middle-aged gentleman just outside Antwerp. In addition to enthusiastically showing us around town he left little chocolates on our pillows and serenaded us every morning with an accordion reveille.
