About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To escape the nine to five life.

ABOUT ME

I work as an animator in Halifax, Nova Scotia and I love it. I get to get up and make cartoons all day. That isn't all I do though, my passion has recently changed into outdoor sports in an attempt to live a healthier life. I love surfing, even though I'm still learning, and I rock climb. Nova Scotia is littered with boulders to climb.

PHILOSOPHY

I want to live my life to the best of my abilities. To learn more and more and to see more of this world. To treat those around me the same way I want to be treated.

If everyone just listend to Xavier Rudd the world would be a better place.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Currently I'm typing this from the couch of my friend Anthony who showed me around Ireland. I love seeing the world this way.

UPDATE!
I've since traveled through CS and loved it. Everyone I met was great and the most amazing people. I've also recently met some local couchsurfers and have had nothing but the best experiences.
