CURRENT MISSION

To strip away all I have and am comfortable with, experience other cultures and peoples to gain an understanding of a world im ignorant to

ABOUT ME

living in the cultural crockpot that is Vancouver has left me dumbfounded with how much diversity there can be in the world. I love beer, bass guitar, quirky folk, video games, sushi, sightseeing, trekking, cave exploring, snorkeling, people watching (a great feat of downtown vancouver for sure)

PHILOSOPHY

The best gift is the gift of giving. Knowledge is a beautiful thing because of how dynamic we can make it through sharing. Our collective awareness and intellect flourished tenfold since the beginning of this information age we live in, and it's only gonna get greater with every minute. Our world is an ever-changing miraculous event that is only going to last for a cosmological instant, so let's embrace all of the chaos and disorder that formed our planet, our plants and animals, and us. And make sure to do what we can to preserve our gift, lest the universe's bleak instant of the ability to observe itself dissipates even faster than it was obtained.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Whelp, cant save i've done TOO much so far since i've just recently signed up, but I'd love to harbor some otherworldly folk on my couch when the time calls for it :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had a friend sleeping on my couch for as long as I can remember (so about a year, i reckon) We were all supposed to get a house together but I decided saving to backpack around europe was more relevant to my interests. aside from that, i'm a couchsurfing novice i guess :P

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Snorkeled on the Yucatan peninsula barrier reef, ascended the mayan ruins of Lamanai and befriended some interesting locals. Fed a wild monkey bananas whilst in a boat. hung out with the locals in the moors of Granada at night, watching the Alhambra light up. went to Sziget festival in Budapest.. climbed the galata tower and watched an Istanbul sunset.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my knowledge about vancouver and all the rad places to check out, also i'm working on my beatboxing but I don't know how well this fares as a quality thing to share LOL. I'm pretty okay at bass and general theory of music so maybe I could give my two cents on that as well. I have wonderful amounts of canadian music to share too.
