Overview
About Me
I’m an easygoing and respectful man who has embraced the unique lifestyle of living on a boat at the dock, complete with all the comforts of home. I run a small business and work as a paramedic with BC Ambulance. I also have a 13-year-old daughter who stays with me part-time, so my hosting availability varies.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
In my youth, I spent a lot of time couch surfing, meeting incredible people along the way. Now, I’m here to pay it forward and continue meeting more amazing individuals.
Interests
As a seasoned adventurer, I thrive in the wild, a master of wilderness survival, I enjoy hiking, backpacking, backroads camping, and exploring the coastline on my boat. My love for the outdoors is only matched by my dedication to the performing arts. I coach and practice aerial silks, trapeze, and juggling, infusing every adventure with creativity and excitement.
