About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to find a couch to surf during a supplementary field trip to New York to the Metropolitan Museum's exhibit of Jerusalem for my art history class.

ABOUT ME

I am currently a fine arts student at Concordia University in Montreal. My style of travel is to kind of jump in and absorb with a few goals and a rough idea of what I would like to do, but mainly take it as it comes. Travel and spontaneity go hand in hand, which hands down, can lead to some of the best experiences to be hand, I mean had. I'm creative, this shows itself through my love of photography, my cooking and my ubiquitous notebook which is filled with notes, recipes and cartoons of whatever happened that day. I am usually always equipped with a paperback, right now I am reading Damon Runyon's Broadway stories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to sleep on a couch.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have never officially Couch Surfed, but that is not to say that I haven't couch surfed before. Prior to finding out about this marvelous site I couch surfed around the UK and Germany and have had people come and stay at my flat.

Interests

I enjoy meeting new people and exchanging experiences, perspectives and above all stories. I am addicted to stories. So I love literature, movies, folk lore, pulp fiction and tall tales.

Teach, Learn, Share

This is a fantastic option. Cooking obviously, is a big one for me. I travel as much with my mouth as I do my feet. While staying with a woman in Germany I learned how to bind books, make my own limoncello and press apples for cider. It was such a great experience and I would love promote this kind of exchange.
