A Canadian living in California. I sit in front of a computer all day, so I get outside to the mountains as much as I can during the evenings and weekends. I can also play the guitar/banjo/ukulele/piano/keyboard

I can also make you laugh. Promise 😊

You can find me on the socials with @isthebaron

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet people and share stories. I'm grateful to have friends from around the world, and it makes me optimistic that despite our differences, we can all understand and each other and foster connection
