About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see the world in a new and unique way from my own.

ABOUT ME

I'm a 23 year old Sailor living in Halifax, NS. I've been in the military for three years now, and have started travelling more and more on my own. I surfed in Germany, Vermont, and Eastern Canada. I host every chance I can.

I live a simple life by going out of my way to remove stress, so my day to days are rather relaxing. The more I travel, the more I am addicted to it.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in a simple life free of discretion and restraints. Ultimately, Honesty and Integrity will set us free.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Roommates permitting, I can allow people to stay for a short term arrangement, up to a few days.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfing: Every time I surf a new persons couch, I have a better and better time. From music festivals, to drinking, to adventures all day, everybody who lets me in leaves me with a solid positive impression on this community.

Hosting: I've hosted close to 10 people now, and the more I do it the better I feel I become at offering better experiences of Halifax. It's also an excellent way to turn an otherwise boring week into something extraordinary.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a bit more involved with Sci Fi for books and a hodge podge for music. Orson Scott Card, Arthur C Clarke, Neal Stephenson, Isaac Asimov, and Chuck Palahniuk are some of my favourite authors.

I am in love with the Symphony. Every time I go I am blown away, and I love dressing up and hearing beautiful music. I also like folk music as well as electronic music, on top of various rock artists.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Iceland 2011, the Hot Springs were to die for.

Teach, Learn, Share

Not only because I am in the Navy, but I am in love with rope and knots. I'm fairly adept at tying knots, and can teach people simple yet effective ones.
