Hi! I'm Simon, 26 years old and currently travelling in Canada. For now, I'm a councillor at Camp Couchiching in Orillia, Ontario, a Spring Camp where schools come over for a few days to enjoy outdoor activities like canoeing, kayaking, rock wall climbing, archery... From next week onward, I will be travelling through BC.
I play the guitar, love the outdoors and love to go climbing. Documenting where I'm going is also an interest of mine, so I take photos wherever I go, digital and analog. I'm an on-and-off vegetarian, which translates to me not buying and eating meat when I can, but when offered, I gladly join in.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking for a place to stay in Vancouver for a week or a little longer, until I can find a car and hit the road again. Using this opportunity to meet new and interesting people who I can have a good conversation with, is always a good thing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I taught guitar for 7 years, so I'm able to show you chords, pentatonic scales, strum patterns...
I can teach rock climbing for beginners
I can show you a little bit of what Lao Tzu is saying in his book, we can try to meditate together.

I would love to get to know the silent, beautiful, cozy, delicious places of your city. I also enjoy cooking, so new recipes are always welcome!

Listening to music is one of my favourite things to do ever, so I'm all for discovering and sharing new music!
