Greetings Couchsurfers! I'm Matt. I'm from Nova Scotia and recently moved to Vancouver. I worked for 16 years in Asia and the Middle East.

When you visit my home you are welcome to do your own thing, or socialize. We can watch movies, play music, have drinks, BBQ, anything you like.

But i'm not running a hotel... so, if yer arriving late to airport I probably will decline.

My house is in Burnaby, pretty close to Metrotown. Plenty of transportation and big parks nearby.

If I can’t host you, you can still ask me for information about Vancouver, Canada and living/working in East Asia.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hosting and CouchSurfing is a great way to meet like-minded people. I like to help people getting to get to know Canada and just to make life easier for travelers.
