CURRENT MISSION

Eating and drinking my way across the world

ABOUT ME

When I'm not at school I spend most of my time cooking and (mostly) eating. The rest of the time you might find me practicing my musical instruments, hiking/skiing my way across a mountain somewhere, or napping in a hammock. I also love yoga (in particular the acrobatic kind - acroyoga!), lakes and beer. Witty puns make me happy.

PHILOSOPHY

Outside is the best side

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Interests

Anything that will get me outdoors (whether it's snowy or sunny)! (Hitch)hiking, camping, cross-country skiing, canoeing, gardening, mushroom hunting and wild berry picking.

I'm nerd and a scientist with a penchant for maps, marine organisms and exploring the more mystical side of nature.

I also love reading, music, baking, drinking tea and discovering new things about this wonderful world we live in.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once hitchhiked 800 km in one long 12-hour day and finished off the evening camping out on a beach while watching aurora borealis flicker above the St. Lawrence in Gaspesie.
