You can’t control the wind but you can adjust your sails.
Life is a big book. If you don’t travel, you read only one page.
I'm Canadian eh.
I made this account Sept.15th/2015. (And so is this part of the bio)
I've been traveling a lot..4 years ago I did a bit of Europe, and the following year I did some hot countries (Cuba, Dominican, Costa Rica) and then I made this account in Tokyo (2015), and I saw what I could of Japan.
Following this, I booked a round trip (since that was the cheapest option) to go home and back to Tokyo (with a layover in Shanghai) and ended up buying a Chinese visa and went there instead! I stayed in Shanghai 60 days, went to Hong Kong 2 weeks and back to Shanghai another 60 days. Now (when I originally wrote this) I've done the same thing with Seoul, South Korea and booked a round trip, then went to Thailand after and home one way.
Update: I’ve been to around 27 countries, just recently travelled all across Canada to every major city just after the pandemic let up, and finished 3 months in Brazil.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm couch surfing to meet new people and maybe save some money. I could rent an apartment for $500-600 a month basically anywhere, but truthfully I never know how long I'll be continuing my adventures, so I'd love some good people to share an epic night out /experience with. I used to always only travel with other people...now I've been going at it by myself...but I do feel like it's a more fulfilling experience with other people...and especially people from other countries, or at least new people or ones not from my home town. It's a mind broadening experience.

Interests

My interests are very vast. I'd love to get out in each country as much as I can, and see as much as I can see. Honestly, I would love to see every inch of the world...from the gutters of the roughest towns to the classiest of places I probably couldn't afford (as of yet😉). I do alright for myself as a jobless hippy, and have a big interest in making (or saving) money wherever possible.
I also like drinking/partying, etc. I'm beyond laid-back, and I have a huge interest in meeting new people. I would kick myself if I left any country without having a good handful of new acquaintances...
I try to get out a lot, and I do have a lot of knowledge about nutrition/fitness, weird tricks, homeopathic remedies, etc. I even created a group on Facebook called Bohemian Grove (mostly to store information, but it's been building as a small public group over time) and I used to go to different colleges doing speeches on health, cancer and the pharmaceutical industry as a whole…
Update 2020: I started Live streaming in my spare time. I do it mostly on MeetMe.com (or the app MeetMe), and I’m switching to TikTok. Search Traveller on MeetMe, Canadian_Traveler on TikTok

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all sorts of movies/music/books... I don’t read much, honestly...
Some stuff I enjoy...
Music: Bob Dylan, the Black Keys, Jon Lennon, various rap... I'm pretty open to music. If it sounds good, it sounds good. I have an ongoing playlist based on feels “up vibes, emotional, party, chill music etc.”
TV: Rick and Morty was super funny for a while, Suits, HIMYM, The Walking Dead, (also. "FEAR: The Walking Dead", which is a spin-off of The Walking Dead - in case you haven't heard of it), Family Guy, American Dad, Mixology (was an interesting show with only 1 season), Game of Thrones, & the world news? lol...etc, etc.
Books: A Doll's House, House of Spirits, the Crucible, Chronicle of a Death Foretold, The Secret, Think and Grow Rich

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelled over 20 countries alone

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always open to learning anything I didn't know already. New opinions, ideas, etc. That's a huge reason why I'd rather stay with people than by myself travelling.. Really, depending on the people I meet will determine exactly how long I'd be anywhere. And who knows, maybe I'll find someone to travel to some other places with.

What I Can Share with Hosts

With a host, I'll keep your place tidy. I'll clean up after myself. I expect to supply my own meals, or share expenses if we want to order in. & I will try to be the best of company,(Perhaps I could bring a bottle of spirits for us? If you’re a drinker -which I am) If you're accepting enough to host me, feel free to ask me anything. I don't feel judgement. I'm very very laid-back and will not get offended by anything you say/ask. I do have a lot of nutrition/fitness knowledge (studied for 5 years, although currently not following any of what I learned). I have been told that I know a lot of random things and could support some interesting conversations. Anything from world knowledge (carrying from the ancient Egyptian times to date, including old kings, their influence on people that carried throughout the ages (did you know the Egyptians had electricity & running water?)...I can quote old emperors and give you my educated opinion on things that have happened/why (including religions, sustainable energy, U.F.O's/alien released documents).. I've watched National Press Conferences since 2007, and have reviewed many different documents on U.S.'s National Security Agency website (NSA.gov), which has previously classified documents that became public after the Freedom of Information Act. Even talking about this stuff now makes me want to meet some people and pick each other's brain, haha). We will definitely have a good time, and I love the bubbly/spirits, so if you want to go out, or stay in, and have some drinks I will probably be into that...
I'm a very easy-going, good-hearted person, and besides the home/accommodations, I would like to meet you. Hopefully you have time for me😁
