Hello couch surfers, I'm Justin. I'm a good person with a soft heart. I enjoy a healthy (vegetarian) and active lifestyle.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting new people, random adventures, and getting outside of my comfort zone. When traveling it's too easy to rent a room and be alone, so I want to push my boundaries with the hopes of cultivating new experiences.

Interests

Playing music on one of my accordions, singing, dancing dancing dancing all night long (blues, Balfolk, fusion), playing sports like tennis, being active, surfing, winter fun (snowboarding, skating), meditation, darts, chess, reading, and finally: smooth whiskey.

Music, Movies, and Books

Cumbia, Salsa, Celtic, Klezmer, Gypsy, Jazz, Electronic, Classical, Balfolk, and of course Pink Floyd.

Classic fiction.

Good sci-fi, like Blade Runner. Anything dystopian: Brazil, 1984, etc. Foreign classics from Fellini, Tarkovsky, Leone.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Played hockey against former NHLers: Cam Neely and Russ Courtnall. A Canadian or northeastern American would appreciate this

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you basic music theory, piano, accordion, as well as dancing (how to follow or lead). I am a former tennis coach.

I've practiced meditation for many years, so I can share lots of tips if you are just starting out. I spent twenty years in the I.T industry as a programmer, so I know my way around technology too.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can clean, teach you some dance moves, make a delicious omelette, or a vegetarian sandwich.
