About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm here to meet locals or individuals that are willing to share their experiences and personal favourite spots in the city that I'm currently traveling. Every city has its own "romance" and every individual interacts with that city in a different way. I'm hoping to meet individuals who are willing to share their stories and their relationship with the environment in which they live.

ABOUT ME

Foodie to a fault. I'm an easy going guy that walks slow and takes everything in - you never know what you might miss! A great home cooked meal and a beer shared with my friends is something that I cherish dearly. I welcome new people into my life openly, wanting to hear their stories and learn from their lives. I enjoy themed parties, beaches and guitars, jazz and hip-hop, a story from the books of history, dancing, reading a memorable novel and most importantly, making my own memories.

Seeing the world and meeting new people is a true passion of mine. I truly love the things I've learned while traveling and overall, have made me an open and accepting person. I don't care where you're from, I want to hear your story.

PHILOSOPHY

The greatest education you'll ever received will be outside the classroom.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on here to meet up with a local or a traveler living in the city that I plan on visiting. I'd just like to get a glimpse of in that city through someone elses eyes, hear about the ups and downs and how they interact with the city. It is truly a privilege to be able to shown around by someone who knows the ins and outs of each city.

Interests

Cooking, reading history books and novels, playing with my camcorder, long walks, hot-fudge brownie sundae's, conversation with interesting people and making new friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Survived my brothers wedding. It was a 500 person wedding that spanned 3 days. Yeah, imagine that.

Teach, Learn, Share

“Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.”

― Marcus Aurelius
