CURRENT MISSION

While I'm living in Europe I'd like to meet people and show them around here and meet other people when I go to the continent.

ABOUT ME

I'm a Canadian living in England, been here since January, and I love it here. If I catch the good train, I'm only about 15-20 minutes from London so it's a great deal (rent here is cheap).

Starting my Masters degree in September!

PHILOSOPHY

After living a mayhem-fuelled soap operatic life for years, age and displacement have chilled me out. Experience has taught me that lifestyle, money, education, religion, hairstyle, nothing matters except being a kind person. At the end of the day being a good person is the only thing that matters. I try to be at peace with the world around me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now
My Masters degree program starts in Toronto in September so I'll be in a better position to host people then. In the meantime I can show people around and help out with any information and support. I've moved continents so I know what it's like to be in a new place.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Standing inside the Roman catacombs feeling the breath of people from two thousand years ago.

Taking the train to work in Vancouver every day. There's a reason it's considered one of the top 3 places in the world to live.

Walking off the plane in London and realizing just how one way my one way ticket was.

Teach, Learn, Share

All I know to teach is that nobody wants what they have. It's human nature. We all keep reaching for something more and the second we get it we want something else. It's a curse but it's what keeps us moving, and accepting is what makes us age.
