A somewhat well travelled fellow who loves to be on the go and indulge in random conversations with strangers. I'm a fairly liberal guy and am very interested in learning about people's cultures and experiences. If I was to choose a different vocation and start over, I’d like to travel, explore different cuisines, write a blog and most importantly, get paid for it. Kinda like Anthony Bourdain. Seeing as how that's not working out, I'll settle for the once in a year vacation deal.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I find that there is nothing more authentic than living and learning from people who are local to a specific country, city or town and getting to see a new place through their own experiences. I value that a lot and that's why i decided to sign up on Couchsurfing.

Interests

Tennis- I used to play semi professional tennis until a few years ago. I play over the weekends now and on every other occasion i can find some time.

Photography- Landscape photography but my major interest at the moment is astrophotography. You can check out some of the pictures I've uploaded with my profile.

Exploring the mountains- Here in Calgary, we have the rocky mountains in our backyard. A hike is a great way to blow off some steam.

Reading- A big reader on abstract topics that rarely get the interest of my friends.

• culture
• photography
• reading
• traveling
• socializing
• hiking
• tennis
• engineering
• mountains

Music, Movies, and Books

Music-I’ve got a pretty eclectic taste. I’ve got an open mind.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Recently quit my comfortable job and decided to go travel for a year and then go back to school to pursue a new career.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Im hoping to talk and share the varied experiences I have had growing up in a culture far removed from the country I now call home. Given my travels, I can sort of weave together how people in different places might have common traits even though they are geographically separated and speak entirely different languages.
