ABOUT ME

I am generally more comfortable in a forest than in a crowded city. That said Toronto is one of my favourite places. I get lost a lot.
I like pubs, Canadians, dogs, new music. I tend to listen more than talk but I am happy to discuss any topic; police militarization in the US or which Teletubby is the coolest.

PHILOSOPHY
I tend to travel when there is a big question to ponder.

Remember to breathe

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosted and been hosted a buncha times. Everyone has been pretty great.

Interests

I like to Scuba dive, getting the Dry suit license next so I can dive Iceland. I like cooking (and generally will cook for hosts if there is time), coffee and tea, bookshops, cameras, birds, dogs... Outdoors stuff like rock climbing, rowing, sailing.
Anything to do with oceans and large bodies of water. I am interested in marine ecosystems.
Tea and food take up much of my time. I like old things, bad horror movies, trees, dancing like a dork. Comedy folk duos.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swam with sharks, manta, rays, turtles, jellyfish schools all in one day. Seen nesting turtles on the Great Barrier Reef in Oz.

Climbed up a giant sand dune in the Sahara in total darkness to watch the stars. Then tumbled back down.

Bought a monkey and set it free so it wouldn't get eaten.

Saw Daft Punk live.

Dived between two tectonic plates, surrounded by snow in Iceland

How to survive a drop-bear attack, very important for anyone traveling to Aus.
