About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Visit every continent twice before I turn 30. Almost there.

ABOUT ME

I'm an open minded, happy go lucky guy always involved in some new project. I've been lucky enough to travel across the globe once, and most recently I spent 3 months traveling through East Asia.

Currently, I'm working as an indie game developer, designing historic and cultural scavenger hunts around my city.

In my spare time, I cook, eat and watch movies. Oh, and whenever I get the chance, my favourite thing to do in the summer is go for beers in the park.

I get around on my bike or my feet, and I love exploring every aspect of city life. I am fascinated by the range of stories that you witness everyday simply by walking down a busy street.

I'm also an avid hiker and have had the chance to walk to some incredible places in Canada, the USA, Mexico, South Africa, Cambodia, Vietnam and China.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have slept on many a couch and love showing people around Montreal when they sleep on mine, so I can explore the city, share a beer and cook for them.

Interests

I travel, I watch a lot of movies, I love cooking, eating, hip hop and craft beer. Oh, and comedy. I can happily nerd out with anyone on any of these topics.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Noir, Sci-Fi, Docs and the occasional guilty pleasure of a B Movie (Sharknado anyone?)

Books: Sci Fi, Speculative Fiction and I'm getting into the emerging world of Hip Hop studies.

Music: Hip Hop (Old School and Underground)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Balloon ride over Goremme in Turkey at dawn.

Teach, Learn, Share

I design very odd games involving intricate puzzles, and I am always interested in looking at things in different ways. Can something become a puzzle? Can a mundane task become playable and fun?

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories, a beer, and some food. Sounds like a good combo to me.
