I'm 29, Canadian, and I've been traveling in Asia and now Europe for the previous 3 years with my Russian/Canadian fiancee, Euvie. We've been all over Asia up until 4 months ago, and now we're based in Bulgaria and exploring Europe. We have an online business together and we also have a podcast where we talk about geeky futurology stuff.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people and make new friends, plain and simple. For me, there is no better way to explore a new place than through the eyes of a local.

Interests

Geeky stuff: futurology, internet business, technology. I'm very interested in the nature of consciousness and have been studying it from the lens of personal experience, Artificial Intelligence research, and Buddhism for a few years now.
I also used to be a recording engineer and worked in a studio in Vancouver. Music, technology, and consciousness are my 3 favourite things.

• meditation
• technology
• traveling
• socializing
• music
• buddhist
• business
• engineering

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm also into jazz, electronic, and some metal music.
Scifi movies are my favourite, but I'm into anything that makes you think. Just watched "The Secret of Kells" and really liked it.
Lately I'm reading a lot about psychology and spirituality. Just finished "Big Magic" and now reading a book called "Difficult Conversations" to help me with business.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I rented a motorbike, explored rural areas in Thailand and went to to a remote island to spend 7 days at a silent meditation retreat and meditate with Buddhist monks.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you want to learn how to start a business that can let you travel indefinitely, I can get you started with ideas. I'm interested to meet people who are passionate about their country and want to show foreigners around.
