I am a recent graduate from the University of British Columbia and studied Engineering Physics. I was born and raised in Vancouver, and lived in Seattle for a short stint in the Tech Industry.

I will be moving to Calgary in August, and before work starts, I would like to explore the world a little before my career takes over.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

While it's great meeting international travelers in Hostels, meeting new people through Couchsurfing allows for the opportunity to learn about a new city through the perspective of a local. It is also great to be immersed and to learn about the culture and local customs, something that Hostel's lack since it caters to international travelers

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

For me personally was working for the Vancouver International Wine Festival this spring as a wine taster. It was a great experience to be embedded in the wine industry and learning about industry practices. Also, tasting wine from different parts of the world is a plus :P

Teach, Learn, Share

I have this obsession with everything wine, and I'm constantly trying to learn more. I can teach the basics of wine tastings and sensory exercises.
