Moving to Canada in May after falling in love with the country 8 years ago. Life has taken me in many directions since then, having graduated University in Engineering, spending 1 year in France, then New Orleans Louisiana. I'm excited and nervous about finally following my dream to emigrate to Canada but I am certain I am on the right path.

I love to travel, especially through hitch hiking as it's a beautiful way - similar to couch surfing to meet local people and see the positive, kind side to humanity.

I also of course want to hear your stories - to educate and inspire me on this journey through this precious life :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I first used Couch Surfing as a Surfer on an old profile while I first visited Canada. I then set up this profile while living in Belfast to return the favour, interact with new travellers, share a laugh and hopefully provide some insight into my home city.

Now I hope you can help me - I will be travelling from Calgary to Vancouver on May 8th - 16th and would love to meet people along the way. My plan is to spend the Summer in Tofino, then find work in Engineering come the Fall. Live is an unpredictable adventure and I am excited to see what unfolds.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books - mainly nonfiction of various types, from adventure, self-development and biographies. Although I really like Haruki Murakami if I were to read fiction.

Movies - not a huge movie geek. All-time favourite is Shawshank Redemption (of course) and anything with a good soundtrack!

Music - Open to all. Music is in my opinion one of the best mediums for creating memories with people and cultures.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm currently restoring a 150+ year-old cottage on my family farm. It's a slow work in progress but I love doing it and am excited to see the end result in due course.
