About Me

CURRENT MISSION
I am currently finishing up my first book, feel free to ask me about it. I am also trying to make arrangments for a startup company I am working on.

ABOUT ME

I am an IT professional turned full-time traveller and writer. I am from Canada but I spent 2 years in Southeast Asia years ago. I just finished another 4 years in Europe and moved to Bali. I work online as a programmer, TV Writer, blogger, teacher and aspiring novelist. I enjoy doing just about anything indoors or out and am always eager to try something new.
I live by the creed that everyone has something that they can share that will change my life forever.

PHILOSOPHY

Everyone has a story that will change your life. You just need to listen long enough to hear it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
As a writer, I look for inspiration and energy from the people that I meet through couchsurfing. If you are just looking for a place to sleep for one night, this is not your couch. If you want to stay for several days or weeks, I would love to have you. When you send a request to stay, please include a song you would like to introduce me to.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I love everything about couchsurfing! Everyone I have met has been amazing and I look forward to meeting more!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Was left for dead by a taxi driver in the Egyptian Desert and had to hike through the desert to find a village and a place to stay. I will tell you the whole story over dinner some night. :-)
