Exploring my world inspires me. I love outdoor adventuring though my home base of Vancouver Island BC, especially the deepest forests and underground caves. I am a nerd when it comes to flora and fauna and have been known to spend too much time following an unusual insect around for a photo. I am an artist and would like to share either some art, photos, music or food with my generous hosts. I am queer so LGBT friendly is essential.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would be happy to teach you anything I know, about the places I've been, the food I can cook. Also, want to learn how to juggle, beat box or take photos?
I hope to learn about you and your community.
I would love to share knowledge, food and stories. Anything I know or can do I am happy to share. If you are comfortable with it, I would love to take your photo for you to enjoy for many years.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Lots of stories and laughter. It is important to me to show appreciation so I will give back in any way I can, either cook food or cleaning, or even some art. I would love to paint on your walls or follow you around with my camera. I find people secretly appreciate having someone capture their natural beauty.
