I'm active, kind and adventurous. Will try pretty much anything once, and love exploring and experiencing new cultures, environments and activities.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm spending 2 years working and travelling around Canada. I want to see the beautiful nature and outdoors the country has to offer as well as the friendly culture that the country is so well known for. I'm hoping to meet some great people, and make some new friends for life.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to a wide variety of music depending on my mood and who I am with. I grew up on rock, punk and indie, but you can often find me listening to anything from classical or jazz to metal. My go to bands are always Foo Fighters, Fleetwood Mac, Rolling Stones.

Books and Movies also vary depending on who I'm feeling influenced by at the time. I have a long list of books I am still trying to get through. Recent reads have been 'How not to be a Boy', 'Soldier Spy', 'The Boys in the Boat'

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This adventure of travelling Canada solo is the latest amazing thing I've done.
I quit my job, changed careers and moved to London in 2014 and have spent the last 5 years pushing and growing myself as a person. I've learnt a lot about myself and others. I can't pick out a singular amazing thing I've done, but what I cherish most are the memories and experiences I have with others.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn new things as well as help others learn and discover new things. I've been a coach and mentor over the years for some sports as well as in my software developer profession. I'm currently coaching rowing in Toronto and will be a ski instructor this winter in the Rockies. I also practice and help teach Acro Yoga.
