CURRENT MISSION

To smell a different type of flower in every country on the planet.

ABOUT ME

I live in Toronto, Canada. I am currently a full-time student, but have previously made a living with jobs such as leading canoe trips in Northern Ontario, and setting up Marquees for weddings and Cooperate events.
I am equally passionate about natural and urban environments, and love being outside in each. I am a avid cyclist and would love to show you around Toronto on two wheels if you have the desire and will to rent a bicycle. I have a strong interest in new information and experiences and would love to host people who can leave me with interesting memories.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy is to not become constrained by a single philosophical dogma.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Willing to host people whenever my couch is free, and would love to start using the site for weekend excursion as well as prolonged outings.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have yet to have a couchsurfing experience with someone I have encountered on this site, but I witnessed many positive experiences that my friends have had so I am very excited.

Interests

I love music, paticularly shoegaze, electronic and alternative, but I welcome the opportunity to be exposed to new musical perspectives. I passionate about Literature, and spend much of my time reading and writing. I love canoeing and camping as well as any oppertunity to be immersed in the Wilderness. I also love to bicycle, which is my primary mode of transportation around the city. I also have a passion for tasting new beers, and love the oppertunity to try a new brew every time that I travel.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing I have done was travel Scandinavia with my girlfriend Jasmin. We saw the picturesq, emmaculate piers of Copenhagen, the awe inspiring summits of the Norwegian Fjords, and the breathtaking archeticture of Stockholm's beautiful homes among an infinite amount of other amazing experiences.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could share my wealth of knowledge about Canadian and/or Toronto history and culture. I would also be happy to teach people I encounter to juggle, canoe, play guitar, a little about beer tasting and categorization or anything that someone happens to be interested in that I happen to posses as a skill. I would be very interested in learning new languages, or about new and interesting recipes that I could replicate.
