ABOUT ME

I work in a bookstore, play folk music, write songs and stories. I'm a big nerd about music and lit.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I don't currently have the space to host anyone in my tiny bachelor apartment, but I'm hopeful that I'll be in a position to do so within the next few months. I love Halifax, where I live, and I'm eager to show any visitors my favourite things about it!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I used couchsurfing to find a place to stay in Bangor, Maine, on my way to New York City, and I had a great experience! Since then I've enjoyed showing visitors some of my favourite places in Halifax.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can tell you all about how wonderful Halifax is. I can especially tell you all about the fantastic musicians here. In fact, if I get to sleep on your couch, I will totally bring you a mixed cd! And I'll probably make one for you if you come to Halifax, too, as that's just something I love to do.
