Hello! I'm from Yellowknife, NT, Canada. I have travelled Europe on a journey to find my familial roots after a long stint travelling through SE Asia. I hope to meet new people, try new food, and learn new skills like diving, cooking, and languages! I have cycled the Gulf Islands of BC as well as toured Vancouver and the Lower Mainland. The summer before, I bicycled from Vancouver, BC, to Mexico. Though I didn't use this website, I have been on Warm Showers and have good reviews through that site. Check me out: www.warmshowers.org/user/91235 I hope to learn more Lindy hop, Charleston, swing, and salsa moves while on my travels!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to meet fun, interesting people who want to share a bit of their lives with someone from up north! I love singing and I'm half-decent at guitar. If you love to play, let's jam!
