Tans’ai! I am of Cree ancestry, with some European thrown in. I grew up off-grid, on a lake with lots of fish in northern Manitoba, get as much food as I can from the bush, and cover a lot of ground traveling to visit people and places. I studied International Development in university, played a lot of soccer, and work really hard for short bursts through the year so I have time to do other stuff.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I grew up in a very hospitable home and I think hosting people and being hosted is the greatest thing.
