CURRENT MISSION

Three month stint in Europe, have an open train and plane ticket and am up for whatever is good going on

ABOUT ME

This is always the really weird part, feels kinda like your filling out the info for a dating site.. can´t say ive had the joy of Eharmony just yet. Pretty much game for anything people are up for, rather travel with others then go face the world solo as im sure is true for most people out there. Like the outdoors camping side of things just wont be happening on this trip right now. I really like to start with a decent cup of coffee and then go from there in any which way, pick a random subway stop to get off at and explore the territory. See the real side of the cities and countries you visit. I´m sure we are all up for doing the tourist stuff once in a while but you gotta go where the locals go and become a part of the place for a time. I was always taught thinking you need to stay in one place for a few weeks to figure out what makes it tick. Sure there is a language barrier sometimes but the best part of travelling is getting to meet new people and hear all about what they´re life has been like. I like to spent a few days getting to know people and see what everyone can discover out there.

PHILOSOPHY

This is probably the hardest section to write anything down about. I like to do the best i can at the work im doing, none of this half ass kinda thing. Figure youre only on this earth once, might as well make it worth while and experience all that is available. You need to work someway, might as well be in a place that you want to do it and if/when you´re bored move on

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Today is day one of my couch surfing life. Been with my buddy through france and spain and all of the people we have met have either been through this site or met in the hostels. Meeting people for me the biggest benefit of couch surfing, id be up for crashing at someones place if theyd have been and when i get back home id return the favor and open my doors.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Im brand new to the couch surfing way of life and have to say ive got nothing but good things to say about it. Been in europe for a few weeks and have met some of the most amazing people who i wouldnt have met without this program. Want to get to know as many people as possible

Music, Movies, and Books

Reading has never been a huge passtime for me, I find myself reading when i travel. Usually have a book with me most of the time but i would rather pick up a magazine and then hop on the trails for a ride. Action and comedy are my favorite but nothing wrong with a decent documentary or thriller once in a while. Indie would be my area of choice when it comes to music. Really like a lot of the smaller bands that not many people know of and then share them with people you meet on sites like couch surfers

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Alright i could bring this part down to 2 things. First when i was like 15 a pretty close family friend, a teacher at my local high school was approched to start a national TV show on the food network. it was all about getting kids to eat local and know where they´re food came from. I was one of the lucky ones who got to be on TV and then travel to Italy for a 3 week trip around the country on what one could call a high school stage. Pretty amazing. The second would be my year at Outward Bound Canada College, the last year of my high school got to go to the boarding school, this wasnt any typical school, we would go on 4 week trips across canada, ranging from dog sleeding, to canoeing and hicking. Met some amazing people on the trip.
