About Me

Hey everyone! Welcome to Victoria! I would love to host anyone who is down to hang, considerate. It also absolutely wouldn't hurt to share a drink and a meal with me. I've got lots of room and don't mind playing tour guide to show off this awesome place! If it's the weekend I'm always up to show off the nightlife too.

I left my desk job to build food tours in Victoria. I started in May 2019 and absolutely love it! I am an expert in things to do around Victoria and love to make the most of every place I visit.

CURRENT MISSION

Show people the beautiful island I live on and give them a chance to see Tofino and try surfing!

ABOUT ME

I'm super easy going. Love a hike or a swim or a drink, actually I pretty much love everything. I'm clean and organized but not bothered by much! Love making friends and telling stories, I have a lot of them. I've played soccer and volleyball my whole life, spent a year in Australia and the year before that in Whistler snowboarding.

PHILOSOPHY

My philosophy? Do and see as much as I can so when I get old I have the best stories to tell my grandkids and will be the coolest old person ever. Do it NOW and never make excuses and say you'll do it tomorrow, cause chances are, you won't.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I started couchsurfing in Christchurch, NZ and loved it! Couch Surfing has an amazing community of people, I've hosted people who have been on the most amazing journeys and visited the most kind and welcoming people on my own journeys.

Interests

Hiking, biking, camping, swimming, snorkeling, chilling, seeing as much as I can! Soccer, volleyball, snowboarding and basically anything active. Love talking and sometimes can talk your ear off.... well most the time.

Music, Movies, and Books

Pretty much any comedy or anything with Leo Dicaprio in it. LOVE my hip hop but anything upbeat will do. I read a lot, Harry Potter got me started and have read all kinds of books from all kinds of genres, basically if it's a best seller I'll read it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled Australia with no plan. Got in a 2 man plane to start, a 9 days bus tour, 2 weeks on a yacht and a bus down the east coast and have seen almost the entire coast of Australia. Also I've driven 10,000km in Canada for a 6 week road trip... when I'm done with you there is no way you won't want to go to Canada to travel... and obviously, come see me

Teach, Learn, Share

Ready to teach what I know about surfing (I'm no expert). I want to share the local experiences on the island and make sure everyone I'm with has an amazing time and recommends my home to everyone!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share all the good times I have on the island. I love organizing trips and making sure everyone is making the most of their vacation :)
