I live with my girlfriend Paola, and in our spare time we both love to be outdoors, finding adventures by various modes of exploration such as hiking, mountain biking, canoeing, and motorcycle touring. I try to be musical on occasions, but a lot of my time goes in to an engineering business, where I attempt to be as 'sustainably' inventive as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Occasional social events, hosting, travelling etc. I particularly like any opportunity to expand and share enviro-energies with other curious/survivalist minds.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted a few people so far. My girlfriend and I enjoyed staying with 3 different hosts in Newfoundland back in 2012...a great time!

Interests

Music - part time band member...with very limited talent : ]
Inventor - I'm slightly better at that : )
Repairman - like everyone else who is cheap and owns a house.
Sport - was once a contender, now a pretender : [ but still enjoy most winter sports and racket sports.

Music, Movies, and Books

Not big on fiction movies...but historical stories, documentaries and science often fascinate me! The book Ishmael by Daniel Quinn was one of the few that caught my attention as a student. I like to play harmonica and congas for a laugh....loving blues and ska influences.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled for a few years by motorcycle after my degree.
