ABOUT ME

"The last mosquito that bit me had to check into the Betty Ford clinic."

"No, actually I'm Canadian. That's like American but without a gun."

"Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals ... except the weasel."

I lived in Japan from July 2004 - January 2007 working at Yazaki Parts Co. Ltd. as an English Trainer. That's the most exciting thing I've done with my life so far.

Things you should know about me: I am an ENFP always chasing after meaningful albeit shortlived bonds through CS-ing. Note: "bond" does not mean "fornicate" in my CS-ing world.

I consider myself a generous person but I am NOT a morning person. I love anyone who laughs at my jokes and gets along well with my cat :)

PHILOSOPHY

"Facts are meaningless. You could use facts to prove anything that's even remotely true!"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host when I'm available to. I surfed for the first time through Italy and Spain and it was a life-changing experience.

Unfortunately I'm renovating my house through January (and maybe February), so, no couch available until all of the new drywall is up!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

90% excellent experiences.
