Hello! My name is Alvin and I am a born and raised Canadian. I lived my entire life in Canada. So being a Canadian I like your typical Canadian stuff like hockey, maple syrup, and Canadian beer. But I am quite diverse and very open minded. I'm a big music guy and I love to listen to a lot of different music. It is my hobby to go to concerts and music festivals. I am also a big eater and I am adventurous when it comes to trying new food. I am respectable, organized, out-going, and friendly. I like to meet new people whenever I have the opportunity.

I have traveled to the US, France, Italy, Spain, Barbados, and Vietnam. However, I just recently got a work placement in Hong Kong and will be there for my 2015 Summer. So I hope to meet some great people during my stay and experience all that I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I got a job in Hong Kong for the Summer of 2015. I will be arriving in Hong Kong on morning of May 14 and will be coming back to Canada on September 5th. I am looking for a place to crash for a couple of weeks (May 14-28) so that I can get use to the area and find a permanent room to stay in for the rest of the summer. So it would be awesome if I could stay at an awesome place with someone or people who are awesome :).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I caught a huge barracuda while deep see fishing in Barbados...I think it's pretty amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: "It's not who you are that holds you back but it's who you think you're not"

Learn: I want to meet new people from all over the place from different backgrounds and cultures. This is the only way to keep an open mind and know the world you're in

Share: Want to know more, just ask :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Well since I am looking for a place to stay for just a couple of weeks all I can share is good company, good conservation, and a good time. I will pay for any rent for the two weeks of stay obviously.
