I'm a Canadian traveling in Europe with a deep appreciation for fresh water lakes and the smell of woodsmoke. I work hard, appreciate honest conversation and love seeing the stars at night. Music is important to me. And I'm always happy to transform leftovers into unexpected meals. I come from a strong creative background with environmentalist roots and a love for the forest. My strongest desire is to create connections through communities in places that are new to me.

I'm looking forward to meeting you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm interested in locally-integrated travel experiences. I'm curious about the hidden gems and lesser-known must sees in your neighbourhood. I love the idea of a more personalized, less touristic travel experiences.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Last summer I traveled to northern Canada and paddled the Yukon River from Whitehorse to Dawson City . The landscape was so expansive, the sunlight unrelenting, the wildness i-n-c-r-e-d-b-l-e! I hiked the raw and ruthless Tombstone Territorial Park. It was a bigger physical challenge than I could have imagined and inspired me deeply.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I bring a clean and respectful approach to cohabitation. I realize that I am a guest in your space and will do my best to make sure the impact I leave to your home and life is positive. I'm eager to break bread, cook and appreciate all kinds of conversations. I'm also very happy spend some downtime alone. I imagine that no two days couch surfing experiences are the same and love to take things one day at a time.
