About Me

I'm from near Niagara Falls, then I moved to Toronto because the Niagara Region seemed dreadfully boring as a teenager. Then I moved to Montreal for cheap rent and poutine. After that it was back to Toronto again for a change of scenery. Peterborough was next to (finally!) complete my undergrad. And finally now I am in Kingston for grad school.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like sharing experiences. I want to meet new people and explore new places with people who know them best - and to do the same for other people.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music...
I listen to a lot of music - new, old and all different kinds - and love going to live shows. Bands I'm into always include the Rolling Stones, Kinks, Clash, Ramones, Television, Led Zeppelin, Bruce Springsteen, Talking Heads, and a bunch more.
Movies...
Night of the Living Dead, The Tenant (and any Polanski), Two for the Road, Ciao Manhattan, Royal Tenenbaums (and Wes Anderson anything)... I'm currently on a horror movie kick!
TV...
Freaks and Geeks, Twin Peaks (and all David Lynch movies), Kids in the Hall, Arrested Development, Spaced, Young Ones, Office (UK), and more.
Books...
Favourite fiction: Dune, Brave New World, Diary of Adam and Eve, Shadow of the Wind, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.... Fave non fiction: Invention of Nature, The Shepherd's Life, Sapiens, On Trails, H for Hawl... I've worked at a couple book stores and I read a ton.
