CURRENT MISSION

Update this profile! It's many years out of date. This profile is written principally by myself, Michael, but “countries visited” and similar reflect both myself and my wife, Allison.

ABOUT ME

Toronto born and raised, I've had the great fortune to be able to extensively travel the world. Currently studying French. My wife is a freelance writer.

PHILOSOPHY

Not all those who wander are lost.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far, only hosting! I didn't get my act together in time to couchsurf at all in Spain over the break, but if I travel in my summer holidays I really hope I can, if not stay with people, than at least chill with some cool people.

More holistically, I try and create a friendly space where travelers can take a load off, where I can offer the odd tip, and where I can hopefully meet and connect with some wonderful strangers and future friends.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted tons of people in Toronto and it was a blast. Looking forward to doing it here as well.

Interests

Comics, graphic novels, television, film. Being able to talk seriously about pop culture but also just enjoying it frivolously. Travel of course. Meeting new people.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Incendies, Monsieur Lahzar, Paradise Now, Battle of Algiers, Celeste and Jesse Forever, pretty much any Marvel movie
Music: Mostly Hip-Hop
TV: Archer, Game of Thrones, The Good Wife, The Americans.
Books: I read a shit ton of comics and graphic novels. Saga is my favorite ongoing series. Really liked the Underwater Diver. And though I've fallen terribly out of the habit of reading prose, I hugely enjoyed Sutton, a random purchase.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Getting married was great.
