About Me

I am a photographer from Canada's far north (the Yukon), I love camping and hiking and meeting new friends. I like adventures of all sorts, wether it involves a parachute, skis, music, dancing, or a bottle of booze, I'm in! I am in university for photography and work full-time organising a music festival.

I'm headed to Iceland for two months (September, October 2016) to explore the country and continue to work on a project about oceanic coastlines and northern climates and geographies.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To make friends and get to know Iceland a little bit!

I'm travelling on a shoestring. I will gladly sleep in unconventional places, share stories, and help with house chores to make friends to see a more intimate side of Iceland.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Age 13: Got my scuba diving certification in Alaska, USA.
Age 15: Hiked the Alps.
Age 18: Went skydiving over the Mojave Desert in Arizona, USA.
Age 21: Hitchhiked across Canada (3000 miles!)
Age 24: Explored the Arctic Circle during the winter Solstice in the Yukon, Canada.

I am now 25 and headed to explore Iceland to work on a dream-come-true photography project.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am more than happy to share what I know about photography, wether it's the basics or the ins-and-outs of long-exposure and Aurora photography. I come from a small town a few hours south of the Arctic Circle in Canada and I am no stranger to the beautiful northern lights.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am good company, easy-going, quiet, clean, and I will walk your dog or do your dishes (or whatever). I love telling people about the Yukon and Alaska, but I'll happily listen to your stories as well!

I speak English and French and would definitely converse in either of those language if anyone wants practice.

I can also do pro-quality portraits (family, partners, pets, etc) as a token of appreciation for letting me stay with you!
