ABOUT ME

I just moved to Edmonton, AB, and am working for an NGO that promotes trees in agriculture. Needless to say, I love being in and learning about the environment, as well as playing and listening to music, discussing stuff that makes me think, and exploring the world to try to figure out what the heck this whole human condition thing is about. Although I'm still far from any sort of conclusions, I've been lucky enough to have been to Australia and multiple countries in Europe and Central America, and was on a yearlong academic exchange at Lund University in Sweden a couple of years ago. The travel bug has well and truly infected me and I have no interest in being cured...

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Mostly have surfed so far - I haven't lived in a hostable home yet, but I'll get there!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had some awesome couchsurfing experiences across Europe and Central America. These have included random music jamming sessions with my hosts in Munich and Barcelona, salsa dancing in Costa Rica, an organic farm in Mexico, and an Arsenal game in London!
