About Me

I work seasonally on an organic farm, which keeps me busy outside all summer, and gives me lots of free time in the winter for travelling. I love growing, cooking and eating amazing food, and I am passionate about finding ways to improve food access for all people.
I love being outside and am very active; my interests include hiking, biking, running, skiing, swimming, rock climbing, kayaking and camping. I am an avid bike commuter and have done some bike touring around the Vancouver area, as well as Cuba. I am hoping to do more in the future! I also volunteer at a community bike shop, and I love helping people fix their bikes and learning more about mechanics.
The rest of my time is spent playing music. I play the guitar, violin and banjo, but most of all, I love to sing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have couch surfed on friend's accounts in the past and was overwhelmed by the generosity of the couch surfing community! It was such a great way to meet people and see new places so it's time I got my own account.
