I am a classic inquisitive Gemini. I have a genuine interest in cultural exchange, whether it's language, food, history, politics, art- what have you. I highly doubt I will visit every country in the world and therefore the best way to learn is to simply have conversations and meet people.

I LOVE eating new foods- I'm excited to try most things, and love REAL spice, though I don't enjoy it if it's overly spicy for the sake of posturing. I was vegetarian for 11 years and enjoy a full spectrum of diets now. If I see you eating something I've never tried before, there's a high key chance I will ask to try it.

I'm interested in world history and world politics. I enjoy philosophical political discussions, and I believe in collectivism, solidarity, and oneness as guiding principals.

I love animals. I want to meet and pet every animal that will let me. Seriously, I will find the cats at a house show and spend most of my time with them. It's just what I do.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet cool new people, and to meet locals in new places.

I'll be visiting the American east coast and midwest next September and would like to network with new people.

OH- and to go thrifting. Tell me where the best charity shops in your town are, please and thank you!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've spent time REALLY learning about Saskatchewan and the prairie provinces. I've gone on road trips all around and will happily share my tours with you. If you're into dinosaurs and/or archeological sights, elaborate Catholic churches, western outlaws, or natural wonders and unique ecosystems- I will share with you all the coolest places to stay, the best way to maximize your tour, and where to really learn about the dinosaurs.

And for thrifters- found a pair of John Fluevogs in mint condition for $10.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to think I am a pretty good cook. I'm happy to share what I've learned in my practice!

I'm happy to show you around town and tell you where the best local haunts are, and how to get around on the bus here. We can watch movies or play board games too.

I have two big ol chonky cats, and part time custody of one medium dog. my basement roommate also has a cat.

If you like live music or stand up comedy, I can point you to the best events and secret venues in town.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to cook, and would be happy to share something with you.
I would love to dog sit or walk your pups.
If you need help around the house or yard, just ask.
