About Me

Easy going, authentic, creative, free-thinker that likes hanging out with guys. A minimalist and a stoic. Sometimes people mistake my quietness for lack of interest but I can carry on a conversation. Generally you will find me smiling and I have a distinctive laugh. And I like to laugh ;o)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been fearless of the water from a young age. I drowned myself twice within 5 minutes when I was three.

Oh you'll have to ask how I learnt to drive standard in Milan.

Teach, Learn, Share

Come swim with me :o) Let's go to the National Art Gallery or a night out for karaoke. Let’s try Canadian wines and beers, share meals, experiences, travel stories and our musical tastes.
