CURRENT MISSION

To perpetuate my carefree student lifestyle while financing ill-planned travel expeditions with some major credit card debt and prolonging my inevitable employment as a public servant for the Canadian government.

ABOUT ME

Having spent the last few years here, there and everywhere, I recently returned home to Cape Breton to spend time with family, pay said credit card debt, do some community development schtuff, and grapple with my an ongoing existential crisis.

PHILOSOPHY

You don't have to be good to succeed. You just gotta be the least shitty option. Example: We're eating at The Olive Garden.
- Sh*t My Dad Says

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Ah...I'm happiest when I'm meeting new people, hearing their stories, and sharing experiences. I've had the opportunity to be hosted by some pretty amazing people and would like to return the favour.

Interests

In no particular order...travelling, reading, hiking, people watching, live music, caffeinated beverages, dogs, international development-like schtuff, cold beers, yoga, dodgy bars, piano, the universe, Celtic culture, red wine, lazing about, the ocean.
