ABOUT ME

Im a passionate, deep thinker and spend alot of time with my face in a book. On the flip side I really don't enjoy being indoors all that much and spend as much time as I can backpacking and taking photos. I am a self taught photographer and quite happy keeping it as a hobby, more of an excuse to go camping really.
I enjoy meeting interesting people and love having real conversations and interactions, something harder and harder to come by in this era of technology.

PHILOSOPHY

'Those who stand for nothing will fall for anything'
- Alexander Hamilton

'The people in power will not disappear voluntarily; giving flowers to the cops just isn't going to work. This thinking is fostered by the establishment; they like nothing better than love and nonviolence. The only way I like to see cops given flowers is in a flower pot from a high window'
- William S. Burroughs

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just found out about this project recently so can't really say I partcipate at this point. Since I'm on the road I have no couch to offer up but could sure make use of all yours!
When/if I have a couch/floor of my own again I look forward to being able to offer it up. For now I'm more than happy to meet up with anyone new to the banff/lake louise area looking to get some good hiking in.

Interests

Love nature, the wild, everything about it. Try to spend as much time as I can in it, more and more each year. I'm a creative person by nature and have been using photography to express that the past few years. I read alot, enjoy many types of music. I can talk all night on issues I'm passionate about, and there are an endless amount of those.
