CURRENT MISSION

Live a fulfilling life and try my best to stay in the present.

ABOUT ME

I'm a laid back 25 year old looking for good people, good food, and engaging conversation. I like the genuine and the authentic, plastic shit from china drives me crazy, non-monetary forms of trade really tickle me, clean food free of chemicals make me excited beyond belief. I'm traveling with my wonderful girlfriend through South America right now, volunteering and work trading our way north to Columbia, she is from Quebec and fluent in french and English.

PHILOSOPHY

We are all interconnected in some form or another so we might as well treat each other with love and respect.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like non-monetary exchange and knowing a place through the people who live there.
