I'm not very good at described myself on these kinds of things. I start writing and then end up stopping because I think I'm making myself sound like a real wiener. Basically I'm a fairly sociable, open minded person. I try to be as kind and as compassionate as I can to everyone I meet. Hopefully you will find this to be true if you host or are hosted by me.

I spent the last summer treeplanting in western Canada, and then working at a kids camp. I'm currently bicycle touring through Europe.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To continue travelling and meeting people in cool spots. I haven't had too many experiences on Couchsurfing, but the ones I've had have been really great. I really believe in the idea of Couchsurfing, and I think it has the potential to open the world up a lot, in terms of making travelling more affordable, and as a tool for meeting like minded people while on the road or at home.
