CURRENT MISSION

To live and learn, laugh and love. Basically anything that starts with L. Oh, and to see as much as Europe as I can this year!

PHILOSOPHY

If you want something, reach out and grab it, but if you can't have it, let it go.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hope to have some good CS experiences this year while I travel around Europe, so that when I return to my homeland (Canada) I can free up a couch or two.

Interests

I love listening to and making music. I play guitar and keys, and have played in a couple bands in Winnipeg. I also like beer, dining, cooking vegetarian meals, jamming, tennis, canoeing and hiking, etc.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a lot about 90's and early 00's north american pop music. I enjoy discussing gender and sexuality, musicology, and "green" issues.

I hope to learn more about the art of being a good traveller, couch surfing etiquette, and how to have a great time in various western european cities!
