Hello! My name is Greg and I’ve lived in Vancouver for 6 years, but I’m originally from the US. I’ve studied forestry and conservation and I’m very passionate about nature and being outside generally. These passions have led me to hiking and cycling as much as possible. I’d be happy to show you around Vancouver, both the city and nearby hikes and beaches. I love meeting new people and having deep conversations about the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To experiences the places I go from a perspective less seen by travelers, and to exchange culture and experiences with the people I meet.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like most genres but mostly prefer things ranging between classic/alternative rock to electronic music. My favorite movie is In Bruges, and my favorite Harry Potter book is the Deathly Hallows.

I'm always down to see some live music! I can always find something to see in Vancouver, let me know if you're looking for a show.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Wild mushroom picking in Yukon, and herding sheep in northern British Columbia, as summer jobs. A cycling trip across the Netherlands.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love showing Vancouver to new visitors and reexperiencing the city through their eyes. I would be glad to show you all around town, or go for a hike or to the beach if I am free. Also always happy to talk about plants and ecology.
