CURRENT MISSION

Being a free bird: seeing & doing what I can, when I can. Wanna explore? Jam? Go for beers? Message me!

ABOUT ME

I'm short, friendly, and sometimes awkward. I enjoy the company of people. Send me a message if you're up for just about anything. :)

PHILOSOPHY

People really need to slow down. What's the rush, man?

Give more, do more, see more, love more, be more, accept more.

Surfed couches, hosted couches.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have hosted a few times since 2007, met some great folk that way. Couch surfed in 2009, as my friend and I trained & hitchhiked from the west to east coast of Canada. And a lovely time, it was!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

During our 2008 cross-country adventure, the two of us spent a week in solitude in TheMiddleofNowhere, New Brunswick. I spent one entire day in a massive, over-grown field, writing notes and inspirations on blades of grass. For nobody else but Nature herself, to see. That memory always makes me smile.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have an eye for photography, and a love for the outdoors. If anyone is up for a photo excursion, I'm your guy.
