CURRENT MISSION

do shit. don't be a jerk.

ABOUT ME

i'm currently a student at mcgill university, studying german, east asian studies, and art history. this past year i was also vice president (clubs and services) of my student union, or SSMU [students' society of mcgill university], so i was pretty deep in the mix of student politics here in quebec. that continues, but the summer brings with it some changes, such as spending more time reading books and coordinating the mcgill farmers' market.
i'm pretty busy working during the week, but on the weekends i like to get outside, go on hikes, go to concerts and read books, and part-ay.
i've got radical politix but i like to meet and talk to people of all backgrounds. maybe we can exchange perspectives and learn about a new point of view. i'm open-minded. i used to work for and volunteer with an anti-capitalist vegan lunch service at mcgill university called midnight kitchen,
and my politics are radical in the sense that i try to examine the root (radical) of problems in society as much as possible, and act to change them.

i believe in love but not miracles. i don't get stressed that easily and leave a lot up to chance and coincidence, appreciating the wacky way things come together.

my roommates and i really love having couch surfers and have had many positive experiences, so if any of the above sounds good to you then send us a message :)

PHILOSOPHY

to take nothing for granted, to always keep exploring - the world and my own mind, and to be aware and alive in the present moment - wherever i am

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

strangers sleep here; i sleep at strangers houses; world peace happens

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i've hosted a few people now and it has been excellent! what a great way to travel without going anywhere!
i've also surfed in berlin & brooklyn, that was real nice. and done related activities like WWOOFing (working on organic farms).
i really love hosting.
