About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Study, Travel... As much cycling and climbing and hiking as possible. Oh and some motorbiking!

ABOUT ME

I am really involved in my studies right now, but still save time for all the good and necessary things like skiing, cycling, climbing, concerts, and writing. I am from western canada and am crazy for windy, quiet mountain roads, whether on the motorbike or bicycle. When hiking I spend a lot of time off trail, wandering around in the forest practicing navigation and enjoying the place - sometimes alone, more often with friends.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything in moderation, including moderation!

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to treat people as nicely as I possibly can, it seems like the best way to have people treat me nicely too!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Two excellent visits in Madrid. One excellent visit in Oslo. Another lovely time in Northern Finland. Now I am settled for a bit hopefully I can be as good a host as they were!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Experienced a quarterlife crisis several years ago and changed everything... job, city, lifestyle, friends... all of it! Now, five years later, I am reaping the rewards and loving being free and learning all the time.

Teach, Learn, Share

I study circumpolar history, seemingly with a sociological view. I am a pretty good and creative cook.
I am interested in geology, astronomy, philosophy, and cooking.
