Sorry, currently not hosting -- we have a new roommate and want to give him a chance to get settled in first! :) Maybe in a little while. Have a good trip!

HI SURFERS

We have a small place so I can't always accept requests -- sometimes we just need time to ourselves,and sometimes my days are so crazy I don't even have time to check email or respond. So I won't waste your time! Feel free to send me a quick request, no need to pander to my profile and comment on stuff and etc. I'm busy, you're busy, let's cut to the chase and get going. We can chat when we meet! B)

CURRENT MISSION

ride horses, write books & drink beer.

ABOUT ME

Hi! My name is Andy. I like horses, film, history, beer, bison, hiking, farming, opera, food, outlaw country, board games and garlic. But especially horses. And especially bison.

I currently work full-time as an instructional designer. I farm on Sundays and I work at a horse barn on Saturdays. I do a lot of volunteer work throughout the year -- most of it with film/film industry festivals and events, along with other arts & culture organizations. I also write, illustrate and do some graphic design/visual art on the side.

My husband & I are working to open a new board game cafe in Toronto. My dream is to work part-time at the cafe and have the freedom to travel around, earn some ranching experience and eventually run my own buffalo ranch.

For travel, so far we've enjoyed roaming around Canada and the US (except for my childhood, which involved a bit more roaming). In the future we'd like to check out tons of other countries and regions.

PHILOSOPHY

Whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
