CURRENT MISSION

To live a life of passion, full of new adventures and challenges :)

ABOUT ME

A few years ago I found out a few friends are regular Couch Surfing hosts, which in turn led me to try Couch Surfing. I'm completely inspired by the notion that an entire community of people would open their lives and homes up to complete strangers! Since then I've met loads of people Couch Surfing in Vancouver, and safe to say they've all been pretty amazing individuals.

I'm a bit of a hybrid between structure and chaos you could say. I'm a designer and entrepreneur by trade, and aspiring documentary film maker in the works :) New (and not always realistic) ideas and crazy projects get me up in the morning. I love to be inspired.

I'm leaving myself open to as many new experiences and amazing people as I can possibly come into contact with! Hence opening my home up to new people.

I recently finished a 4 month trip through the Balkans and into Northern Turkey. I'd like to see the Caucasus next, or perhaps more of Latin America.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have experience both hosting people and couch surfing in many different countries. For the foreseeable future I'm at home in Toronto, so feel free to send me a request :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This past Spring/Summer I traveled through the Balkans and into Northern Turkey - along the way I've met and stayed with many amazing people through Couch Surfing. I've also hosted a number of people - hopefully more in the near future!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well to begin with you have a be a fan of Brazilian music to appreciate this I think :)

I arrived in Bologna, Italy a number of years ago and managed to meet some locals. They offered to take me out one night and show me some nice places. We went, and it happened to be their Brazilian Music Festival. Well we made the right decision in going to a well-known bar, and ended up drinking/partying with Gilberto Gill's band that night. Super fun!

Teach, Learn, Share

Well let's see here...

I've been establishing a career in the film world over the past several years, so I might be able to share something in this respect, related to principals of cinematography, visual language, editing, etc.

I love to cook vegetarian/vegan food. I'm sure I could impart some knowledge to a vegetarian curious person and I'm equally keen to learn more.

I'm a yoga newbie but I know a few things. Would be great to impart the small amount of knowledge I have and hopefully learn more from others.
