Current Mission: Walk the Camino and keep travelling

I am a person who has had a full life, and a myriad of different adventures which include: learning traditional First Nation Wood Carving for 5 years, hitch hiking across the Country, living in a yurt, singing in a wild band, living in a tiny house, mushing dogs in the mountains, woofing in the States, activism work....

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I believe in building community throughout the world, and because I enjoy having genuine exchanges with fellow human beings while travelling.
