About Me

Came back to Canada a few years ago after 7 years teaching English in South Korea. I really missed the nature, people, and culture here. I spent a couple years teaching in Vancouver and studying kinesiology at UBC. Started teaching PE in northern Manitoba, now I'm doing the same in Chilliwack. I'm into politics, science, philosophy, and psychology, but also love playing drinking games and having fun with friends. I love sports; some of my favourites are hockey, lacrosse, football, golf, and squash. Really enjoy being outside, especially camping, hiking, swimming, being out on a lake.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm new to Chilliwack and yet to make some friends here. I hope to meet some interesting people visiting here, and find a place to stay when I go away. I hope to meet guests and hosts that are looking to interact and do something fun.
