CURRENT MISSION

To meet people! To explore! To learn languages, and experience cultures, and live life a little more fully.

ABOUT ME

Born in the west of Canada, moved to the golden horseshoe to pursue the arts. So far it's worked out surprisingly well. I want to learn French, cook for people, drink a beer or glass of wine, and tell some jokes.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to do things I enjoy, as long as they don't get in anyone's way. I walk, bike, and take public transit. I like to cook, I try to buy local foods, or organic. I try to avoid being a bad person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new to couchsurfing, so I'm not really participating yet! But I want to use the site to meet interesting people in the cities I visit, and host said interesting people back.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I sat on the cliffs of Inishmore, off the west of Ireland, and looked out over the Atlantic. I spent two weeks at a retreat in the mountains, hiking, drinking coffee, and being an artist.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know how to do a bunch of things not particularly well. If you need to learn to play a few chords on guitar, cook an okay paella, do basic repairs on a bicycle, or speak bad french, I might be able to help.
