About Me

While mostly hanging around Victoria, BC, I definitely keep traveling as a priority! Most recently I was down in Peru, learning some new sustainable development techniques for farming and gardening. Seeing plants grow that I couldn't in Victoria is amazing!
If you're around and want to explore, let's hang out!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing gave me the ability to travel and gain local insight through contact and hangouts. Beats a guide book any day.

Interests

-I'm a somewhat new beekeeper. Three years into the game and freaking loving it. ***Update*** All my hives gotten destroyed by bears. No more beekeeping 😂

-Photographer on the side (of life). Give a holla and I'll take some super nice portraits of you!

-Gardening is my jam. Let's talk gardens.

Music, Movies, and Books

All the music, I'll listen to with intended appreciation. Test me!

Books: Christopher Moore, Roald Dahl. Jim The Giraffe, Boxy An Star, Rule of the Bone.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I've done:

Closed my eyes and then opened them to see the world. Literally though. I fell asleep on the plane ride to Turkey and ended up traveling for almost 5 years straight. crazy!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a pretty rad caramel popcorn recipe.
I'll attempt stare-offs.
And cook a good meal.
