Hi there! My name is Heather. I am a wilderness guide in Ontario near the big and beautiful Algonquin Park! I am 28 years old and love meeting new people and travelling. I have a Siberian Husky named Nuke and he is amazing, so friendly and laid back, but very hairy!! Haha

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couch surfing because when I travel I really want to experience the culture of the country I am in and there is no better way than staying with a local! I also host because I'd like to give back to others the kindness I have received.

Interests

My absolute favourite thing to do is be outside. I have been a wilderness guide for the last 10 years and I absolutely love it! I love discovering new places and spots that haven't been explored. I also love dancing and spending time with my friends and family. I also love going on hikes and cross country ski trips with my dog and my boyfriend.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite books have to be A Thousand Splendid Sons, The Book of Negros, and Harry Potter! I love listening to indy music, alternative and country! Im pretty open to any kind of music though :) My favourite movie is Life is Beautiful. Its such a beautiful story...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent most of my last 2 years living outside. It has been an amazing journey. I am currently living in a barn in Algonquin Park leading dog sledding trips. It is so relaxing waking up to the sun and the sound of horses and not much else!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to light a fire using a rock and a piece of steel!!!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am very friendly and curious! I want to know everything about everyone so I would say great conversation. I want to hang out with hosts...not just use their place :) I can share some of my stories, of which I have lots, and I love listening to other people tell stories of their adventures!
