Howdy!

Canadian writer and existentialist. Craft beer salesperson. Lover of travel, vegetables, nature, and all things local. Overthinking hippie.

The house is strewn with instruments you are free to use. Or you can yelp, howl, and purr to your own wild tunes. The same goes for pots, pans, spices and the Lego blocks of salads. We're here to get mixed up, and I couldn't be more grateful.

Unfortunately, impersonal (copy/paste) requests are an instant decline. A minute worth of reading a profile is a modest trade for days worth of a host's time and energy.

While I respect autonomy when it comes to personal health, I respectfully ask that guests are fully vaccinated to protect myself and my community.

Read more, love more, live more.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

The simplicity of this platform is as astounding as it is heartwarming. Trading personality, humour, observation, and energies (things so easily taken for granted) for a few square meters of space and the precious time of someone's life. Reflecting and being in the world at the same time, simmered in the ephemerality of such distances from home.

兴趣

Craft beer, literature, comedy, architecture, vegetables, nature, (successfully) fighting off the existential malaise, local support, polyrhythms, and things that smell just dandy.

Skateboarded into a hamburger commercial and had a ride-off with the host.

教，学，和分享

Teach: Guitar, and anything you would like to know about beer or it's wonderful history. Also, the basics of fermentation and some easy recipes for those buzzwords like Kvass, Nut Cheese, Mead, Beer, Rejouvelac, Kombucha, etc.

Learn: Your grandmother's favorite recipe. Some Russian or Ukrainian, if you've got any on you.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I love to cook vegan / vegetarian foods. If you're in the mood to try something new, I'm happy to provide! And by "in the mood," I mean there will be food, and I will be just as confused as you are as to how it happened. Will also provide the best friendship your dog has had in years. If music is your thing, a full jam studio is set up in the basement, sanctioned and I daresay encouraged by the friendliest of neighbors.
