About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Round the World to see as much as I can before its gone!! Find a home along the way or back to Toronto to continue "teaching" to see what's next.
There's nothing holding me down! Fly! While I can!

ABOUT ME

I am a intelligent, very creative, fun, outgoing, and passionate man. I am passionate about art but even more so yhe Outdoors!!!

I aim to constantly inspire myself and make attainable goals and then repeatedly crush them. I am very adventurous. I've gone skydiving, bungee jumping, I drove all the across the US with my Canadian beginners license! I drove from Toronto Ontario to Banff Alberta to Lake Louise solo, and back in 2 weeks this past March. I hiked the Inca Trail

I'm happy to be alive! No day spent outside, with laughter, with friends or with family is waste!

I'm a vegan.
I'm a teacher.
I'm anti-colonalist.
Do you know who Noam Chomsky is?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm doing my Masters in Fine Art in Toronto until August 2010. I'm living at home while in University so I can't really host. I'm up for hanging though I can't promise I'll be free. Once I finish my M.F.A I'm moving to Berlin.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed 10 couches on my first experience travelling and Couchsurfing. My friend, Bessam and I, drove a 4 week road trip in the U.S. and surfed all the way, (except for camping and Vegas): OKC, Chi-Town, Santa Fe, Flagstaff, L.A. San Fran, Salt Lake, Denver, Omaha City, and Chi-Town again.
