Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Learn something new every day
ABOUT ME
I'm a progressive, lefty entrepreneur. I’ve been living in Peru for the last 8-ish years, and now I’m back home in Canada for a few month. My latest project is learning to code so I can build cool things.
PHILOSOPHY
"Homesick for somewhere I've not yet seen, nostalgic for things that have not yet happened."
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I’m back on CS after nearly a decade away, and I’m excited to connect with new people again when I’m home and traveling. CS has let me experience places in a whole new way and I've met some awesome, inspiring people.
Interests
Some things that make me tick are learning new languages, music, nature, biking, camping, climbing, photography, podcasts, dance, yoga, and talking politics. I love learning new skills - quite random ones at times, like solving rubik's cubes, or learning morse code, or memorizing pi.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
A sweat lodge in Northern Ontario. Mardi Gras in New Orleans. Sleeping in a carnival trailer, on the roof of a church, under the desert stars in Jordan, and three months on a wooden platform in Vietnam.
Teach, Learn, Share
Language one thing I love to share. Teach me a new word or phrase and I'll be happy as a clam. And I'll do my best to reciprocate (just ask!)
What I Can Share with Hosts
A great cornbread recipe, a love of board games, and lots of funny stories.
