CURRENT MISSION

To stick around somewhere for a while...

ABOUT ME

After traveling about Europe and living in Halifax this past year, I'm finally ready to shelve my roving lifestyle for a bit and begin my studies at U of T. It should be great to venture this town from top to bottom and meet some great people.

PHILOSOPHY

"While you and I have lips and voices which are for kissing and to sing with, who cares if some one-eyed son of a bitch invents an instrument to measure spring with?"
e.e. cummings

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Met and surfed with some of the most marvelous people I've met for quite some time, from Ulm to London, London to Copenhagen. This time around, I am hoping to host a bit on my own, and maybe meet some fellow Halgonian Couchsurfers. It's good people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveling is one of the best things we've got.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you the odd German word, though I'm unfortunately by no means fluent. We could have some sort of culinary escapade, if you're willing. Sharing new books/music/art is always a nice thing to do.
