I am an artist, sessional lecturer, and PhD student at McGill studying architecture history and theory. I am originally from Vancouver BC, but now call Montreal home. I used to live aboard sailboats in Vancouver and, when I was younger, I hitchhiked across Canada!

Probably the better idea of who I am can be found on my website, such as it is.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

From time to time when I travel (these days usually for a film project) I prefer to stay with folks in the community rather than at a hotel. I have had many wonderful experiences and hope to have many more!
