CURRENT MISSION

Exploring Canada! I am doing a working holiday in Canada for one year. I have lived in Ottawa for three months now and I will be driving over to Vancouver starting August 17th.
Before that I have studied medicine and have been working as a psychiatrist for almost a year but I´m not sure I wanna work as a doctor for the rest of my life. I guess I'm hoping to find out what I want to do with my life on my trip. :D

ABOUT ME

People tell me I am polite, empathetic, open minded, rational, funny, geeky, curious, social, active.
I think I am friendly, adaptive, discreet, supportive and sometimes a little too hard on myself.
Also I don`t smoke and I don´t eat meat or fish (unless I caught it myself) but I don´t mind if you do.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to share meals, drinks or just a story with other open minded individuals.
I never take anything for granted. If you decide to host me I will do my best to give something back to you. I'd love to learn something about you and your city, but if you are busy, I don't expect to be entertained. :)

Interests

Photography, Concerts, Gaming (board and video).
I really got into Magic: The Gathering (card game) a year ago and made it into my main hobby.
I also recently started learning about meditation.

I play the guitar (kinda) and I sing (sometimes).

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: In Bruges, Watchmen, Gran Torino, Before Sunrise, Fight Club

TV-Series: Firefly, GoT, Scrubs, New Girl, Dexter

Music: Metalcore, Post-Hardcore, Alt Rock, sometimes Songwriter stuff

Books: I like 1984 by George Orwell but to be honest: I am not such a big fan of books. Might be because i have to spend a lot of my time studying them. So I guess it's more a work thing and not so much entertainment.
I enjoy audiobooks and podcasts though.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skiing in Whistler, Canada. First thing that comes to mind. That was pretty epic.
Also Surfing in Morocco. That was cool.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you basics in photography and digital retouching. I can also bore you with my view on society, morality and relationships. :D

I don't know many recipes but I actually quite enjoy cooking in company.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Food, drinks and stories. :)

Also I´m a doctor so if you are interested in learning about medicine, health or the human body in general, I`d love to teach you something.
