CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I'm a 27 year-old who's been traveling the world for the past couple of years. I love being in a new place with new people and experiencing new things. I'm a pretty relaxed person and usually have a smile on my face.
Other than that I've just started teaching English as a second language and hope to be able to do this while traveling.

PHILOSOPHY

Living your life, not one that people think you should have. Personally I'm at my best when I'm climbing or doing something new that stimulates my mind and body. I'm not a big fan of complancency, greed and arrogance. I guess that my philosophy is one where I try to be as good of a person as I can be and try to have a positive impact on those around me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've just joined so I haven't had the opportunity welcome someone into my home just yet. I'm definitely looking forward to doing so, though.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The only experience that I've had was when a roomate of mine in Vancouver told me that someone was going to stay with us for a while. I later found out that they had gotten in contact through couch surfing and thought that this was possibly the coolest thing ever.

Interests

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed in Australia, Thailand, Turkey... all of which were incredible both for the stunning landscapes and for the amazing people I met.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm an English teacher... so that might help. I also love to rock climb so if anyone is interested I'm always game.
