C

I'm from Vancouver, and I've traveled a bit. I've spent a lot of time in England, Spain, and Morocco in the past, and recently, I spent 10 months in India and three in Laos
For years, I played poker for a living, while doing other projects. That allowed me the freedom to travel a lot. More recently, I have been an organizer for major political parties in Canada.
I like books, bars, music, and interesting people. I'm urban and a bit eccentric, but down-to-earth
Now I'm back in Morocco, and on the road to West Africa and the Caucasus

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted a lot of people while I was living in Morocco. I still haven't really traveled much with Couchsurfing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met a lot of different people playing host in Essaouira in 2011. I think meeting the Moroccans involved in the project was the best part, as it introduced me to a broad range of Moroccan society that I didn't really see in my small town (Shout out my Casa peeps!) Hearing different people's opinions on things was nice too. Props to the scholars, the artists, the partiers, and all the rest.
