I am away from home for work and have rented my Powell River house out to friends. I am sadly unable to host guests at this time.

I feel extremely lucky to have had the time and resources to explore many incredible places this world has to offer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have had the joy and pleasure of hosting and being hosted by so many lovely people! This website is such a brilliant way to bring fine folk together!

Am I just lucky or are all couch surfers and hosts as wonderful as the ones I have been able to meet?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

the best are usually unplanned and unexpected.
I was part of a support crew for a solar car trip from Edmonton, Alberta to Inuvik, NWT (past the arctic circle) and then through Alaska, ending our participation in Whitehorse, YT.

I also volunteered at a Grizzly Bear conservation area, been amazed by orangutans in Indonesia, dolphins in New Zealand, sharks and turtles in Malaysia, moose in Newfoundland, a wolf in NWT, a bison in Northern Alberta, a toucan and capybara in the amazon, llamas in Peru ... also awesome anarchist couch hosts in Lisboa, Bristol & Edinburgh . . .
