About Me

Canadian born and raised, but love to explore. I really appreciate all hosts who enrich and aid my travel experiences abroad. I enjoy all things intellectually stimulating; art in all its forms (especially photography, drama, and film); many sports (especially hockey, rock climbing, skiing, karate, and volleyball); and a good party as much as a relaxing evening. I am very easygoing, flexible, fun. One word to describe myself: Eclectic.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
