long time no couchsurfing! I'm originally from the UK and have spent the last few years in Australia. I recently moved to BC Canada. Mostly I've used warmshowers for surfing/hosting as I'm typically travelling by bicycle.

I'd like to get involved in couch surfing again, as sometimes I find myself moving through towns like a ghost, without an inkling of what the place is. All things are more fun with company, and I want to centre human connection in my life. I'm a pretty lowkey person and happy to hang with anyone, anywhere :)

I enjoy biking, hiking, hitchhiking, hard manual labour, bush doofs, pretending I know how to fix my car, catan, or a good campfire

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

surfing, socialising, exchange

I'm very rarely in the same place for long, but excited to host when I stop moving one day

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

spent 4 years exploring Australia

Teach, Learn, Share

I can drive a tractor, use a chainsaw, maybe fix your bike? I'm not a fountain of knowledge about anything in particular but my english is pretty good in case that's useful to you

If you're interested in getting into bike touring I'm an encyclopaedia of bike nerd stuff

I would love to broaden my outdoor horizons and get more into paddling and surfing, maybe climbing

What I Can Share with Hosts

stories, six packs

I could try and cook you dinner but I'd also be more than happy to clean your gutters or weed your garden. I've used work exchange platforms to travel a fair bit and love to pay my way with labour :)
