Hello! My name is Gabriel and I'm studying to become an arborist. I'm an ultrarunner and avid backpacker! I love this planet and we need to take better care of it.

I love read and to laugh. My free time is spent on the trail, meditating, drinking coffee and whatever else I may fall into. I have three younger brothers, terrible eyesight and severe allergies to both dairy and peanuts :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeting new people and, of course, I have very little money.

Interests

I was raised with no television or Internet until the age of 16 (lived way out beyond nowhere) so I was stuck in a book or walking in a creek! The rest is history. Also, have a listen to Van Morrison's "Into the Mystic."

Music, Movies, and Books

Anything jazzy

I've read the Harry Potter series seven times and plan to read it annually from here on. Enjoyed action or mystery-packed fiction growing up, but prefer non-fiction these days. Anything about trees, spirituality, dreadlocks, clean eating and wolves to name a few.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been to Niagara Falls... It was pretty average.

Teach, Learn, Share

Lactose intolerance is not the same as having a dairy allergy :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Hosts are welcome to ask me anything about having Tourette's Syndrome and I can, in return, clean their kitchen. Seriously - let me do it.
