CURRENT MISSION

Meet people from around the world and share information about travelling with a pint or two of course!!

ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in Montreal, Quebec, of Italian parents. After graduating from Montreal's McGill University, I moved to start my teaching career in Yukon, Canada. I was fortunate to teach 2 school years in two cities: Whitehorse and Dawson City. I later moved to Seoul, South Korea, where I taught English. After six months, I moved to Canada's fourth largest city, Calgary, Alberta, of which I still call home. I currently teach Physical Education at the high school level.
In my spare time, I work out and train for track & field.
I hope to continue travelling to different countries 3 times a year (winter holidays, spring break, and summer).

PHILOSOPHY

It is through world exploration that the human race can better understand each other and hopefully alleviate the divisions that at times hinders peace amongst nations.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hope to meet new people from around the world both at home and abroad.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None really!
I heard about couchsurfing while I was in St. Petersburg, Russia. I met these 2 guys from Slovenia who now live in Sweden and told me about it. We later went out and met other couchsurfers. It was an awesome time.
