To meet you and talk life.
ABOUT ME
I find a certain level of bliss when I find ways to add value and be a part of life. I seek the rapture that comes with being truly connected, and the moments I share with others along the way.
PHILOSOPHY
If it's broken, fix it. If it works, work with it. If it's beautiful, appreciate it. If it's happy, laugh with it. If it's tired, rest it. If it's sad, comfort it. If it's kind, gift it. If it fills me with bliss and enlivens me, relish in it.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Come meet up! Shoot me a message, maybe I can find time to host or hang out. Maybe not. I'm busy creating wealth to make my next voyage.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Enjoyed surfing in St John's, Newfoundland and found the culture to be some of the warmest Canada has to offer. Hosting cyclists, father and son, from Sherbrooke, Québec, traversing Canada on a tandem while I was living in Canmore, Alberta was an inspirational experience. Cycling the maritimes and the west coast with the Ottawa based organization, Otesha, was 1000+ km of amazing and challenging times. Biked across Canada visiting couches and warm showers along the way.
