About Me

Filmmaker/photographer living in Toronto at the moment, in the process of moving to Montreal. Will be on a crusade to travel as much as I can with my love for the months between our move. We're eager to meet and connect with people abroad who have the same fire for life as we do.

Just as a disclaimer: I've spent many many months couch surfing at friends homes and am always welcomed back. I'm eager in the kitchen and cook for friends as often as I can. I care a lot about being as hassle free and accommodating to my hosts.

I wish I could be hosting guests at the moment, but these days I'm between apartments until May. Come the spring I will be fully moved to Montreal with my lovely girlfriend and it is our plan to host as much as we can!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've recently found my obsession with traveling and have found that the most fulfilling way to do it is to spend time with locals and make friends through means of spending close time together. Living with new people is always the most exciting and sometimes most daunting experience, always in the end enriching everyone involved.

Interests

Film and Photography. Art making in general. Dogs. Iceland and Arctic expeditions. I was a competitive swimmer for half my life. All compelling stories. Mountains. Rivers. The Ocean. The undiscovered planet earth.

If you want to talk movies... we'd have to sit down. But The Matrix, The Last Samurai, Secret Life of Walter Mitty , The Assassination of Jesse James.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just crossed the North Atlantic passage from Iceland to Greenland and into Baffin Island on an expedition creating a documentary of our time there.
