I am a music teacher and musician from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. I teach violin and fiddling to children and adults and I love my job! I am also a gigging musician.

People tell me I'm funny and I like to believe it :)

I love being outside and I spend a lot of time near lakes.

I am a tidy, considerate person, eager to travel more and to meet interesting people along the way!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm couchsurfing to experience the world on the ground. I'm interested in the lived experience of different places, and I want to connect with people as I travel. The low cost is also an attractive factor.
