Originally from Toronto, ON but for the last few years I've been working all over BC for forestry companies. I love to keep moving, meet new people and make a grand adventure out of life.

I spent most of the winter traveling across Central America and up the pacific coast of the U.S. by cycle where I was introduced to CS and made some great connections with some wonderful people.

After another spring of planting trees in BC I'm currently taking the scenic route home to Onatrio via the Northern USA to hike/camp/visit/photograph and explore any great parks/wilderness/scenic vistas and cultural centers along the way.

I'm super easy going, up for random adventures and equally content to laze out with a good book or chat about the news du jour. While not exclusively vegetarian I can cook up a mean veggie stirfry and I'm always on a hunt to sample the best craft brews or cup of coffee every town has to offer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Road tripping! I really enjoy connecting with local people in a new place, it makes it feel like more than just visiting.
