ABOUT ME

I grew up in Nova Scotia. Moved to a wonderland called Banff in the Canadian Rockies when I was 18. I was meant to go back to uni, but stayed in Banff and got introduced to the idea of traveling. Haven't stoped since, and have no intentions of slowing down :)I've had an unbelievable past couple of years just experiencing, enjoying, and living life. I'm currently saving my money to move over to the UK, stoked!

PHILOSOPHY

Don't bend; don't water it down; don't try to make it logical; don't edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions
• Franz Kafka

This basically sums it up.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In the last year I've used couchsurfing more then ever (mostly surfing) while living and traveling around Europe. Now that I'm back home, I can't wait to start hosting more and contributing back!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My favorite part of couchsurfing is the short cut to getting in with the locals! In the past I traveled around using mostly hostels vs. couchsurfing, and I've got so much more out of the seeing the place and experience by using couchsurfing. From chatting about the history of the area to finding out the less touristy bars and usually getting to meet their friends and more people. I've met some really interesting people and made some great friends.
