I'm a goof and teller of bad jokes first, and second a chatter and lover of conversation.

Third I'm a twenty-something student finishing up the last bit of my BSc. in Computer Science, with a great love of the bike touring, camping, and travelling.

I am currently learning to climb (I'm very good at falling off!), dance (lindy hop), and improve my French. I just (May 2018) did the West Coast Trail, and am looking forward to my next multiday trip!

I have taken two large trips for just over 2 months each: one biking through Central/Eastern Europe, and the other backpacking through Asia and Southeast Asia. Through those trips I have developed a healthy appreciation for and attraction to small towns and the places in between.

I take requests up to three weeks in advance, and over three days into the future. I strongly prefer couch requests for two to three nights over one night or more than three.

We have a dog who sheds! If you have allergies, beware~

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My housemate @guisers convinced me! She has been a long time member, and as we are now starting to host a bit, I am looking to meet all the cool people out there!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Helped reinforce Canadian stereotypes through climbing Fuji in shorts, in the dead of night, in the pouring rain, with a bitterly cold wind, to the laughs and selfies with Japanese tourists.
