About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet people, enjoy life. =)

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Vancouver, British Columbia, was educated for five years in Montreal, Quebec. Home for me will probably always be British Columbia, there's something incredibly powerful about wild places in the pacific northwest! After working in California for 3 years, I moved to Zurich for more studies.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Meeting people who want to be met is awesome! My hobbies in Zurich mainly involve biking, rock climbing, and exploring the city. I hope to explore the surrounding areas as much as possible while here.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had my first couch surfing experiences this summer on my way from Canada to California, and met some really great people. I look forward to more couching in future travels.

Interests

I love all sorts of outdoor sports, mainly mountain/road biking, hiking/backpacking, kayaking, skiing,and sailing. There are some great local hiking trails in Santa Barbara too.

I love making music and art, listening to music and looking at art, listening to and looking at people, talking to and with people, making new friends, seeing old friends, and learning new things!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Machu Picchu was this year's highlight for stunning scenery! Honestly, the pictures can't say it all, you just gotta go.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've got some bike repair skills and general mechanical know-how. Don't ask me to fix your car, but I will happily change your tires or oil...
I can teach you a couple card games, how to ride a motorcycle, and how to play the marimba!
