About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travelling through the Americas

ABOUT ME

Bermudian born, Canadian Bred and English by blood. I love the sun, the sea and anything that involves being outside. I also love hosting and showing people my favorite city when I'm back home in Victoria, BC.!

I love playing guitar and singing, diving, Frisbee, Soccer, having a few drinks, and watching movies and relaxing the day after a few drinks! :P

I like things that challenge me, like overcoming problems and solving puzzles, and I greatly value the experiences I live over the possessions I own.

Thanks, maybe see you soon!

PHILOSOPHY

Experience. Learn. Live.

Keep an open mind.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent 3 weeks living on a 4 acre island off the coast of Belize. There were only 3 huts on the island and 2 outside toilets. I spent my time hanging out with Belizian Fishermen, catching fish for dinner, snorkeling, and working to make the island better. It was an amazing experience I'll never forget.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can fix some computer problems. I'm an excellent listener if you want to have a moan about something (as long as it's not me!). I might be able to answer some technical building design queries. I could teach you some guitar as well If you like. I also have good eyesight and would make an excellent spotter for any snipers out there. (Note: I will only help well meaning snipers)

I can drive boats and maybe take you for a dive!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm happy to cook, clean, or just hang out and be good conversation.
