About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see and meet the most amazing things and people the world has to offer while giving back each step of the way

ABOUT ME

The last 6 years have been an incredible journey travelling the world, living and studying in Vancouver, and spending as much time as possible with awesome people in the great outdoors.
Ive been fortunate enough to travel across 6 continents, living in South Africa, China, Thailand, and Tanzania, and now finally after completing my studies, living and working in beautiful Vancouver. I try to be active as much as I can by getting outside and meeting up with friends for drinks!

PHILOSOPHY

The world is like a book; if you stay in one spot, you only read one page.

When we let go of our fears and insecurities, we see that anything is truly possible with enough courage, determination, and belief that it is possible. Surround yourself with people who feel this way too and will help lead you to new places and higher dreams; find people that will help you learn to ask questions that you never knew to ask before and will push you to be, feel, and see more. The idea that life is a linear strategy to attain success is bogus: fall down, fail, embarrass yourself-- at least you know that you had the courage to do something out of the ordinary. Define your own success.
We are all but one tiny fragment of this giant world of love, adventure, and fear. Find your place in it- then change it. Never stop asking what else could be out there for you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My job has me travelling almost half the year currently, so I'll be looking to couchsurfing in the future to meet up with people for dinner and drinks after work while I'm abroad! I'm always looking to surround myself with likeminded people from all over the world, so I am looking to meet new friends and have awesome experiences.

Interests

I'm a very active person and can mostly be found outdoors. I love anything from yoga, hiking, camping, soccer, and anything else active. I love a good bite and brew, conversation, and good company. Travel is my passion.
