Overview
About Me
Canadian born out exploring the world.
I enjoy learning and doing new things and finding the beauty in every day things.
I have a vast range of interests from reading to painting and drawing, to football.
I love coffee, that's a morning must.
Good wine with a good meal or a nicely brewed beer especially on the hotter days
I tend to be quiet in new situations until i get confortable then am very outgoing.
I can be silly and odd but also serious and contemplative. Fairly easy going person. I enjoy laughing and having a good time.
A few years ago i came to a point in my life that i realized I'm not getting any younger and i should be doing thing i enjoy now rather than planning for when i retire. Or putting others happiness ahead of my own. So took to the skys.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
The last few trips i took i really enjoyed seeing the cities through a locals eye (friends i had known previously) and found i got to know the cities and people in those cities more intimately than if i was just wandering around myself. So figured this might be a good platform to meet people.

Music, Movies, and Books
I enjoy a variety of music metal, rock, oldies, classical, pop a bit from every genre basically. There is always music on in my world.
Movies are the same from starwars to sappy chick flicks. As long as it has Action and/or a good story line ill watch it. Although I don't watch to much tv.
Books i have a book addiction lol and that's the same also i like things from all over the spectrum as long as its written well and makes my imagination spark or gets my brain thinking i enjoy it.
Currently reading alot of independent authors right now. And have the joy of alpha reading works before publishing when my schedule allows.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I think this is subjective as what i think is amazing may not be for others. But a few years ago my city caught on fire and we had to leave. Because of my job i had to fly back in every few days. At the time i was also the operations director for the local mens football team. The team had nothing and we had to decide if we were going to play that season. The guys all said they wanted to. So my coach the president of the team and myself somehow managed to do 10 months worth of work and get stuff organized while being evacuated and trying to find all our players places to live and get them resources and having to work and run programs for my minor football teams and get them resources. In the end we went onto to win the national championship. I was so proud of how my boys pulled together to get it done. And i still wear my championship ring everyday. There's a short documentary about it and One of my players.
Others say my art and writing are amazing, i say I'm still learning.
Teach, Learn, Share
I think i am a horrible teacher lol i find i have trouble putting things in a manner that other can understand them. Although by the end they seem to get whatever I'm trying to teach. But I think that says more about their fortitude then my skills.
I paint and can give a try at teaching that. I can cook fairly good, i can sing half decently not a rockstar by any means just love to singing. Mechanically inclined can fix a multitude of things. Dabble in an assortment of things. Ask i might have that skill.
Learning i enjoy learning anything new. I feel if the teacher has a passion and vigor for it. You can make learning it very enjoyable. And I'll try alot of things in not afraid to look foolish while learning.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Good conversation, cooking, art, proficient English skills.
