About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I am going to Sydney, Australia for 1 week coming up in Mid-November!

ABOUT ME

I live in Vancouver, Canada currently. I aspired to travel more and make a network of friends worldwide.

My dream is be a film maker and accomplish all creative endeavors I come up with. Right now Im recruiting people to be apart of my super band.

I've seen Canada's natural beauty, from its mountains to its sea, but I want to learn more about the other parts of the world. To be specific I want to learn more about all the various cultures we have on earth.
So Im on CS and looking for some people to help me find it.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans

Thank you, John.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love the idea of CS because I like sharing a drink, a laugh and a memory with people from all walks of life.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Utrecth, Holland - Machteld took me and a friend into her home and there was no cooler person to go out with in all of Holland. She even ditched studying to go dancing! Super kind woman too!

Antwerp, Belgium - Stayed with a super sweet hear that saved my life. I was stranded in Antwerp and she took me in for 3 nights. Thanks, Thea.

Eindhoven, Holland - Kind of a cheat, as Anke was a new friend more then a CS experience. But there was no better friend/host in all of Eindhoven. The picnic under the windmill was def the best Dutch moment.

Manchester, England - Stayed two nights with a super sweet girl named Vivienne Weiran Li. First thing we did when we met up was eat all we could at an all-you-can-eat chinese buffett. It was the best introduction ever.

Dublin, Ireland - Stayed 3 nights with the best group of 7 people living in a 6 bedroom house. Laura Carvalho was a saint to allow me a couch during the St.Patricks Day celebrations. Her Partner Lucas is also one of the nicest people I've ever met.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In Vancouver the nature is amazing and different every day, even on the job, so I'll stick with the sunsets I've seen here.

I've been sponsoring a child in Sierra Leone for the last year, I really haven't done much but she's probably the most self-less thing on my list.
