Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Experience the earth while helping preserve it!
ABOUT ME
As a kid, I played with Lego, watched the Simpsons and took apart a toaster. As a teenager I ran, played basketball, journeyed through World of Warcraft and worked at McDonald's. Now, after going through Skule and obtaining my undergraduate and graduate degree in Civil Engineering at the University of Toronto I'm applying my skills and experience to make the world a more sustainable place.
As an environmentalist, a vegetarian without a cause, photographer of candid moments and a sarcastic I now await whatever life brings me comes next.
PHILOSOPHY
Three things to always keep in mind when making decisions:
- Understanding
- Balance
- Fearlessness
Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Really great! First time was 3 days of relaxing and great company! Second was in Utretch, Netherlands! I look forward to more amazing couch surfs.
Interests
I like to go mountain biking and running. I play computer games and keep up with tech. Professionally, I strive to make real positive impact on people´s lives through sustainability.
I love to go try (even if forced) new, crazy things. I´m a vegetarian and I try to treat the earth with a lot of caution and care.
