ABOUT ME

I have been living in a damp, but beautiful, region of western Canada for the majority of my life. However, last year I uprooted myself and made a damp, but beautiful region of Western Europe my home (Scotland). Now I am back and will be finishing up my University degree (I study History and writing)and getting some work experience.

I like to read, get distracted by the internet, travel, exercise outdoors or in the gym, eat and drink, and wander around looking at stuff.

I think I am pretty neat. I try to be open-minded and friendly.

PHILOSOPHY

I am trying to soak up experiences as fast as I can. I want to see a lot, learn a lot, and look at everything from a humorous perspective.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

If the topic of traveling ever comes up, I always tell people about couch-surfing with a lot of enthusiasm. I haven't hosted anyone yet, but I'd be happy to show people around my small corner of the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I spent an amazing week in Sweden with my friend Nadine. Our hosts were friendly, generous, hospitable, interesting, fun, and the most Swedish (Swedishest?) people I have met to date.

Interests

Kickboxing, reading engaging books, history, things that are funny, movies that make me think, movies that don't make me think but have loud noises and pretty colours, writing lists of things I like but not elaborating on why, Canadian independent music, hip-hop and alternative music, making stir-fry, poorly copying the Scottish accent, Scottish hills and lochs, getting comfortable in a foreign city, cheap flights, my girlfriend, biking, naps, food and drink...........

Teach, Learn, Share

Polar Bear hair is not actually white, but completely clear and hollow.

Armadillos always give birth to quadruplets.

I'm good at trivia because my mind is full of facts that are not useless, just not used for very practical things.
