CURRENT MISSION

Staying present

ABOUT ME

I live on Vancouver Island. I am in love with this place for all its bikeable - slow food- localism and proximity to nature. I spend a lot of time cycling, hiking, backpacking or generally hanging at the beach with good food and wine. Recently I have been getting more into beekeeping, urban farming and learning to play guitar. I work in housing with high-risk youth and run free acupuncture clinics around town. I am community minded , socially inclusive and always looking for a new experience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUVJAaaaàw

I go through phases of hosting based on my living/roommate situation but I'm always up for a hang out. I also surf the occasional couch while travelling.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Wéweq
Nothing but great people! I've had an account for a number of years but have just started to become more active on it in the last year or two after surfing in Alaska and hosting in Victoria, BC a few summers ago. I'm always inspired by the human connections happening on here.
