Currently working my way through Australia on working holiday! I've spent most of my life in a few towns in Ontario (Canada), but spent my "formative" years in Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, BC. I was working at a university in Canada in a job that was becoming stifling, so when my latest contract ran out I didn't renew it and decided to make my way out in the world more. Just finished travelling around Eastern Europe and SE Asia. Pescatarian (vegetarian + fish), but not a picky eater by any means.

Почему я на Couchsurfing
I've been travelling for a little while now, and have been finding it can get exhausting to meet big groups of new people constantly in hostels, when really I end up connecting with only one or two people. So, I'm looking to make some closer connections to a more manageable number of people (that would be my introverted side talking) while getting a closer look at the places I'm staying. Also trying to find ways to stretch my dollar a bit more, let's be honest.
Музыка, кино и книги
Music: alt rock/pop, folk (currently listening to Grimes, Marina & the Diamonds, Arcade Fire, Feist, Dan Mangan, Radiohead, White Stripes, Yelle, Sufjan Stevens). Oh and showtunes, but I don't push that on people Movies: anything by Wes Anderson or Hayao Miyazaki. And Clue. Book: anything by Kurt Vonnegut, Joan Didion, Douglas Coupland, or Haruki Murakami right now
Одно удивительное, что я сделал
Eaten a Chioptle-sized burrito (1 lb., 4 oz. or 566 grams) in 82 seconds. Medium-hot spiciness.
Учить, учиться, делиться
Teach: I still remember some Taekwondo, the basic steps to swing dance + a few fun moves, I can make a few really tasty recipes, and I can share any of my language abilities (even if it's just a few words). Learn: any new skills! The more obscure, the better. Or the history of wherever I am visiting.
Что я могу предложить хостам
I am currently travelling with my external hard drive, which has about 35GB of music on it that I can happily share, plus a bunch of movies.
