I'm super outgoing, adventurous, and friendly. I love meeting people different than myself and see the world from different perspectives.

Just do it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I couchsurfed in a few cities during my trip in Europe. I also hosted a few international travellers in my house in Toronto.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I first joined CouchSurfing in October 2011 for my weekend 4-day bike trip through the Swiss Alps.

Interests

I frequency get involved in team sports like basketball and rowing.
In the winter, I go snowboarding.
I love making friends and meeting new people, as well as experiencing different cultures around the world.
Professionally, I'm building a career in the design / innovation space. I hope to work in an innovation consultancy where I can spend everyday helping entrepreneurs and established corporations make the world a better place.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've camped on a beach in Alaska, USA in September 2008, followed by a boat-tour around Glacier Bay, where I saw lots of wildlife and beautiful scenery.

I've biked for four days straight to visit the Swiss Alps in Interlaken from Zurich, passing by major cities of Bern and Lucerne.
