My wife and I live on Prince Edward Island. I am a physician practicing outside the box of western medicine, and we have a small farm where we live.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Curiosity more than anything else.

Interests

We have two horses (2016) four cats, a dog and two birds (African Grey Parrot and Green Cheek Conure). We have a small garden that grows most of our veggies through the summer and enough to can back for winter. We live in a rural part of a rural island that is a rural province. Our life, our street, and our house are quiet.
