Couchsurfing for me is about authentic cultural experience. I like meeting locals, learning from them, and connecting with others.

“Let everything happen to you. Beauty and terror. Just keep going.” - Rainer Maria Rilke

I’m a naturally curious guy and enjoy learning from others’ experiences. A few other things about me: love active stuff - I live in the Rockies of Canada so tend to gravitate to mountains. Fairly relaxed individual. LGBT friendly.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to reduce the stigma that meeting new people and even staying with them is inherently 'dangerous'. There's not enough trust in the world and I'm trying to do what I can to show others that people are generally good. For me couchsurfing is about new friends, new experiences, and new perspectives. I love the cultural exchange and natural friendship that develops.
