About Me

I'm an easygoing person who loves to explore and learn about the world. I have a positive attitude and love all sorts of humor.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My partner was on couch surfing and we have hosted some very nice people as well as stayed at great peoples houses so I made my own profile to get to know new people too and to find couches during my travels in Canada in 2020

Interests

The workings of the world fascinate me and I'm always looking to broaden my understanding.

I've been snowboarding since I was 14 and even though I don't know many acrobatics or tricks I do love the elegance that comes with a snowboard on a slope.

I got my padi advanced diving training in Colombia and I love diving, if you are into scuba diving I would love to go with you!

Music, Movies, and Books

Favourite author: Terry Pratchett, and a close second for Peter F. Hamilton.
I have yet to discover a genre I don't like. I love a wide range of music. The big three will be Rock, Hip-hop and drum and bass. Music needs to sway me, give me energy or the lyrics need to make me think. But sometimes a tune can be so damn good that any bad lyrics won't keep it out of my head :D.
Movies: the Big Lebowski :D I'm not very picky with movies as long as the characters make logical or natural decisions. I have a hard time watching reality shows or overly stupid romantic movies. Other than that I'll happily zone out with the flimsiest stories! Though I love a good story and good writing will have me hooked.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So far bungee jumping Blaukrans Bridge in South Africa has been the most terrifying and amazing experience
