About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to be the best friend, neighbour, co-worker or acquaintance a person could ask for, and to always be a happy, open and creative person.

ABOUT ME

I'm a unique person with a lot of energy. I work really hard to attain my goals wether it's just to save up money for a trip or to start up a business; But I always strive to finish what I start and never quit on an idea once I've began to plan for something. However, having said that, sometimes I am a little too optimistic ... I once said I would speak 6 languages before I turn 26. Well here I am, 2 years shy of that goal and I have yet to learn a 4th language let alone perfect the 3rd :( booerns.
I wish to travel the globe, but I truly believe in perfecting ones own art before attempting another style. aka I don't want to travel too far and abroad before I know my own backyard. Starting with BC and it's endless ski-able terrain, I want to go across Canada, followed by the states, then south america before really going on a huge back packing trip for years on end across the ocean.

PHILOSOPHY

"The future is a mystery the past is history today is a gift thats why its called the present" I like to live my life to the fullest and try to enjoy every minute of it. I LOVE making people smile :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I joined this site as a couch surfer but I have always been the person to help others. especially if they help me :) So I am always willing to help a traveller wether it's by offering a couch, meeting up for drinks/coffee, or bringing them around town on a hike or bike ride or ski.

Interests

just about anything and almost everything except drugs. (with the exception of the casual alcoholic beverage) Though I don't like sprouts and olives, and I really really don't like teen pop stars or crazy celebrities that are famous just because they're crazy. Like lady Gaga :P
I have been dabbling in audio engineering and would really like to get into the sound editing for ski and board films around Whistler, where I live.
I am an ex-competitive swimmer, and am now the head coach of the local junior club. I LOVE active living and life styles with a healthy balance between work, play, exercise and good home-made cooking :)

Music, Movies, and Books

oh man, you name it. love all music ... except as mentioned above, those darn teen pop stars and crazy people like Lady Gaga. As for movies, I quite enjoy the big blockbusters from time to time, but my favorite are the not so well known films or the random more cultural ones. Some of the best movies I've seen have been random old foreign films that my parents "forced" me to watch when I was younger haha. But the best are the inspirational types. Wether it's a sport film like ski or snowboard movies, or a little documentary story like the Marylin Bell story. They're fun to watch and make me smile :)
