Traveling around North America in search of rocks to climb and eating local cuisine in between. I love the outdoors, whether it be climbing, hiking, or simply going for a walk. I’m from Calgary, AB, Canada and I call the Canadian Rocky Mountains my home. When I’m not climbing, I am instructing or routesetting at the local university gym while I plan my next adventure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting rad people along the way to share experiences of travels, outdoor adventures, and delicious meals. A deep desire to learn from the life experiences of other people and find what connects us together. Living to travel and traveling to climb the best of the rocks in the world.
If you are a climber or someone that is interested in trying out climbing, I’d love to share my adventure stories, gives tips & advice, and get on the wall!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Positivity, psyche, and passion for human interaction. I am respectable to all rules of the house and I am constantly finding ways to give back. As a traveling climber, I meet individuals from all over the world with an open mind. I choose to trust others as we take turns belaying and find ways to mitigate the risks in this sport. This philosophy applies to other aspects of my life, as I seek the good in people and treat everyone with kindness. As a certified gym instructor, let me show you the ropes!
