About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ad extremum terrae

ABOUT ME

I'm something else, that's for sure. Says so right here on the label, next to 'do not machine wash'. Professionally I work with Aboriginal governments throughout Western Canada, although right now I am in the midst of a career shift and am preparing to study law. I love to stay active and get outdoors (check out my photos, if you're curious! www.spaceswild.tumblr.com), travel, and meet some of the weird and wonderful people this world has to offer.

PHILOSOPHY

In traveling, a companion; in life, compassion. ~Japanese proverb

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have to admit that I've primarily been a shameless couch mooch when it comes to CS. I've had nothing but great experiences with this website, though, and am looking forward to the day when I can return the favour and regularly host some couchsurfers myself.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Some incredible people have hosted me in my travels, and when I get the chance I'd like to return the favor and shore up some couchsurfing karma.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Stood on a frozen river and watched the aurora crackle across the sky at -45C.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to track moose, rock a flannel shirt, build a log cabin, run a trapline, pan for gold...

Also, I can juggle.
