About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Searching for an awesome next couch!!

ABOUT ME

Currently studying at the University of Waterloo for Environment and Resource Studies. Great study and awesome people!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I'm only surfing, as my girlfriend and I do not have a lot of space in our apartment. However, if you want to go for a coffee and see the great city of Kitchener (+awesome cheap food!), just send me an email!!
Also, very soon we will have enough space when we move into our new apartment. Just send me a request to see if we have moved yet, should be over the Christmas holiday (2009-2010).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

At this moment, no experience on CouchSurfing.org, but I have similar experience around Europe, all very positive!
In addition, I'm a big fan of hitchhiking as a means of everyday transportation. Most of my experience is in The Netherlands and Germany, but I have hitchhiked in Canada a bit!

Interests

I'm interested in everything that makes our oil- and energy centered world more environmentally aware. This includes running vehicles off vegetable oil, something I'm looking into a lot.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to a large variety of music, a lot of 60s and 70s. Currently listening to the new album by Wolfmother, I enjoy it a lot.
I really like the books written by Aldous Huxley. I'm currently reading 'Brave New World Revisited', a very interesting book!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A great biking trip when I just turned 16, from London, GB, to Bristol and then to a small town in Cornwall. After that, all the way back to London along the South coast, AMAZING!
