I am interested in travelling and new to couchsurfing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am hoping to be able to stay with kind and interesting people for an upcoming trip in Europe. Although I can't host right now, I hope to be able to in the upcoming year in Victoria, British Columbia.

Interests

I enjoy the outdoors (hiking, biking, canoeing, running, skiing), playing soccer/football, and exploring new places. I have an interest in history, art, current events, and environmental policies.

Music, Movies, and Books

Some of my favourite books are Catch-22, Brothers Karamazov, and the Harry Potter series.
I like all kinds of music, but I listen to a lot of alt/indie rock including Of Monsters and Men and Vampire Weekend.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I guess the term "amazing" is all relative, but I've paddled in a canoe across a bioluminescent estuarine lake at midnight, camped along the shore, and woke up to the sound of a whale surfacing in the lake!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am hoping to improve my French speaking skills by learning from others.
I am happy to share any knowledge I have about ecology and wildlife. I know a lot about the ecology of British Columbia, but would love to learn more about the plants and animals elsewhere.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook, including a few vegetarian Indian dishes.
