Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To experience the most out of everyday, that trips are a shared experience with others, and to get the most out of it one must give their best all the time.
ABOUT ME
Fun and easy going, for this is the best way to have fun and an easy time. Always looking for something new to do and experience. Canadian born and raised, so always will say thank you at least 5 times as the stereotype suggests.
PHILOSOPHY
Life = Risk. I want to look back on my life and be proud of what I did, that I constantly stretched myself to become better all the time. It wont be the times I failed that disappoint me, its the times I didn't try.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I like to actively help out when I can. I try to be involved where I see I can help and make a positive difference, but will also stay out of things I wont have a positive impact on. I try to do both these things without much direction from other people.
Interests
Any sport or hike. Love camping and the outdoors. Enjoy talking about culture and exchanging views on the world with other people who are from other places than I am. Motorcycling.

Music, Movies, and Books
Game of Thrones is the only real TV show I look forward to watching and I am currently reading the books as well.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Traveled to Italy and Greece, and have done motorcycle trips in the USA and Canada. Built a tractor from scratch, climbed mountains, and waiting for an opportunity to add something to this list.
Teach, Learn, Share
I am a engineering farm boy. My level of improvisation and knowledge of fixing basic things is quite large and my ability to be resourceful in situations that need to be solved when proper tools are missing can be an asset in any circumstance. I also enjoy talking about Canadian culture and exchanging views and culture with others.
