I'm Max, I'm Canadian, with a bunch of energy and wonder for the world and I'm pretty much obsessed with new places and cultures. I love nature, mountains, water.. hiking, skiing, biking, swimming, Calisthenics. Back in Canada after being in Latin America, living in Europe, traveling in Asia, Egypt and Turkey. I love the outdoors so I just moved to Banff and am planning to stay here long term. I just started work full-time here in Banff and now I'm looking for accommodation, a room, apartment, or a temporary spot for my tent!
I love exploring, walking for hours in the city.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really want to meet different people from amazing places, exchange cultures, learn and possibly make lasting friendships. I want to see and learn how people around my age live in different parts of the world, the world is so big! I also like different views on the world, debating, growing and learning.

I'm responsible and really reliable so if i say something I mean it and I'm considerate. If you want to talk and exchange that's great! If you're tired or very busy for whatever reason that's okay too, I'm independent and easy going and I can spend days traveling alone.

Interests

Love to learn new things, science, history, ways of thinking/living, changing my point of view after intense discussions, deep conversations. I love nature, rivers, mountains, long hiking treks, and exercise. I hope yo go to Nepal next year and finally spend a month or two trekking there. I love history, traveling lets me immerse myself in it, and being back in Europe is like being in a outdoor Museum.
