I was born in Ontario but was transplanted to the Island when I was little. I moved to Nanaimo for University in 2003 and ended up staying because I really liked it and the friends I had here. I work from home as a graphic designer. I really love gig posters, food, and coffee.

I believe in living your dreams, never giving up, and helping people.

Currently teaching myself German to talk to my friend and read the German design books I have.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm mostly looking to meet people travelling through town and get to know people from all around the world.

Later I'd like to use it to for my own travels.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A long distance bike ride to Victoria from Nanaimo, where I rode up and over the Malahat, the little mountain on the way to Victoria. During the ride up, it hailed. During the ride down it was sunshine—and just beautiful.
