About Me

ABOUT ME

Hola! Hey! I'm a fairly easy going and laid back guy. I love meeting and getting to know people from completely different parts of the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I did a two week backpack trip through Portugal in April 2015 where I had my first couch surfing experiences. I met some amazing friends and now I'm hooked! Now I'm cycling around South Anerica. I started in Ushuai and cycled north to Córdoba. I love travelling so if you're willing to host me that would be wonderful!

Interests

In Canada I spend a lot of time out in the mountains skiing, hiking, camping, canoeing, all that kind of stuff. Abroad, I travel. I recently graduated from film school, and in the summer I work as a wildland firefighter in northern Alberta. I also enjoy learning anything to do with philosophy, the arts and other worthy academic pursuits.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love a good story. Books, podcasts, but my heart belongs to film. Some of the films that I seem to watch over and over...The Godfather, The Maltese Falcon, Casablanca, Gladiator, Shawshank Redemption, The Great Escape, Back to The Future, Big Fish, Psycho, 3 Idiots, Interstellar, The Prestige.

Music:Tragically Hip, Broken Bells, Neil Young, Led Zeppelin, Corb Lund, Arcade Fire, Band of Horses, The Cat Empire, Daniel Belanger, The Decembrists, Dispatch... (Maybe you could introduce me to some new tunes?)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Trekking in Patagonia!

Teach, Learn, Share

Hmmm... we could write a movie together? Talk philosophy?...politics?
