About Me

Canadian digital nomad travelling the world trying to catalyze the renewable energy revolution, while teaching yoga in my spare time.

My favourite part about travelling is always the people and the chance to form new connections and new perspectives, which is why I love Couchsurfing!

I especially love connecting with creative people and communities. I love the work I do in renewable energy, but I often don’t get the creative release I need from my day to day work so love surrounding myself with creative people so I can let that side of myself out.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting new people and getting a local experience!

I used to CS a lot when I was a student, but have been out of the community for a bit (had a bad experience that put me off it for a bit). Now that I am a nomad and it's been many years, I thought it was the right time for me to get involved again so I can meet new people, hear their stories, and have unique experiences as I travel the world.

One day when I decide to settle down and have a home again, I would love to open my doors to Couchsurfers and pay it forward.

Music, Movies, and Books

Up for all kinds of music, especially anything a little bit funky!

I'm a big reader and my favourite book at the moment is Overstory by Richard Powers.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Quit my job, got rid of my apartment, packed up my suitcase and became fully nomadic while starting my own consultancy. That was three years ago and I’ll never look back!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you/share about renewable energy/climate, yoga, English/French, and lots more. Can also have a chat about what it’s like to be a nomad and how you can do it - something I’ve helped a lot of people do to realize their dreams of travelling the world!

I'd love to learn about your local culture and your passions!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Not to toot my own horn, but I'm a great cook and love to share my skills in the kitchen. Also always up to share travel stories and random facts that I have bopping around in my head.
