About Me

CURRENT MISSION

It's always exploring...

ABOUT ME

Active, outgoing or laid back, depending on the time and place. Never afraid to try something new - in fact, that's what keeps me going. Definitely have a tendency to become antsy without travel.

PHILOSOPHY

Will get back to you when I think of a good one.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am fairly active in the social networks of CS - most notably in Ottawa, where in the past I have organized or hosted numerous events. I'm back in Halifax now and temporarily without a couch due to renovations, but will remedy that soon, I hope!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been a member of CS and related sites since 2006. I have had many new, exciting and at times challenging experiences with too many people to count as a result! I owe so much to the community and it would be a great pleasure to host others to the standard that I have always experienced when abroad.

Interests

Mountain Biking, Skiing, Climbing, Motor biking, European Football, Hiking, Sea Kayaking, Snowshoeing. Combining any of these activities with traveling and camping is the best! In terms of my education, I have a keen interest in postwar contemporary German history.
