Greetings fellow travelers! 🌏 Here's a refreshed glimpse into my journey:

**About Me:**
I'm a Canadian nomad hailing from Vancouver, BC. Over the past 3 years, I've wandered across the globe, calling a motorized van home while exploring the great white north of Canada. Although my travels once included my faithful pup Togo and a camper van, these days, I embrace freedom travel, allowing the journey to unfold organically.

**Countries Explored:**
From the vibrant landscapes of Canada, Australia, and Israel to the exotic wonders of Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Indonesia, Japan, Portugal, United States, Mexico, Italy, Turkey, and Greece. Currently eyeing Cyprus, India, Jordan, and Egypt for future adventures.

**Career:**
Beyond years of background acting in TV shows like Arrow, The Flash, iZombie, Continuum, and The 100, I've crossed paths with Seth Rogen, James Franco, the cast of Battlestar Galactica, Mimi Gummer, and musician Steve Aoki. For the last 3 years, I've blended travel with volunteering, recently dedicating 6 months to supporting Holocaust survivors and low-income communities in Jerusalem.

**Skills & Offerings:**
With 6 years of culinary expertise as a sous chef, coupled with experience in window washing, cleaning, gardening, landscaping, fruit picking, and horse care, I bring a diverse skill set wherever I roam.

**Memorable Tales:**
From stumbling onto the set of Warcraft to being playfully scolded by JJ Abrams himself while cycling at the wrong time, my journey is sprinkled with unexpected adventures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on a quest to find the most luxurious couch. Which is true.

But also I love to meet locals from the land and experience what a country is actually like, to get away from the resorts and to be with authentic people willing to share their hearts and stories. These are the best friends to have, it allows your heart and mind to become open.
