ABOUT ME
I'm an avid motorcyclist. I ride all year long, even in Canada. I try to take a long ride every year, but am kinda limited because of my summer job.... so I go when I can... Was in DC, and around Virginia this past summer... Thinking about Route and the northern "lower50s" in summer of '18...

I find that a sense of humour and open-mindednessare the common threads between me and people I really get along well with. I love to laugh and talk about all kinds of things- especially while eating good food.

PHILOSOPHY

To learn from people and cultures and take the things that I like and incorporate them into my behavior.

Be responsible for your actions!

I try to be constantly interested in learning from experiences and people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been away from CS for a long time- I offered to host in Seoul, but didn't hear from anyone. I have been to meetings in Buenos Aires and Lima- which were amazing. I live in a bachelor apt. in Toronto, so it is too small to host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Meetings in Buenos Aires and Lima. Also traveled with lots of people who couch surf who I didn't meet through CS. Have met loads of really interesting and inspiring people through it and look forward to one day, when i have a big enough place, to hosting....
