I'm a long-long term traveller I guess, and I'm the type of person to typically leave this blank.

Believe me that being youthful is the utmost important thing in the world and travel is just that. We're all born with it but only the best of people hold onto that. It's that desire to touch, feel, taste, see everything for the first time. It's like somehow being a child again.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Really rather have the opportunity to stay with locals or other travellers then somewhere where they're out to make money off of me. It's an experience and a privilege to learn from and stay with locals. I look forward to returning home and offering the same opportunity.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Oomph, maybe more the stories and people I've met along the way would be the most amazing thing. There's been plenty of pretty scenery along the way, sights aren't particularly important to me, so it's definitely who I encounter along the way.

Teach, Learn, Share

Juggling, cooking, photography, analog photography and developing, all the backpacking tips I've got.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A few damn good stories, some of the Canadian culture I grew up with, and I mean whatever they're after. This is an awfully tough question.
