About Me

Healthy lifestyle spending time in the outdoors is the way to go, exploring new cultures and countries, and sharing food with awesome people!

Favorite hobbies are hiking in the mountains, swimming in lakes, and going for runs with friends. The best way to spend a night for me would be sitting around a campfire with great friends, food, and drink. Traveled to 14 countries with the goal of getting thirty by thirty. One of the greatest pleasures in life is food. Highly enjoy being a solo chef, sharing the kitchen and learning something new, or heading out on the town to try something delicious.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Simple as travelling lots and love meeting new friends. If I am in a new area I want to experience the local life, and if someone is from my local area I want to show them the best there is to offer.

Interests

- Spending time in the great outdoors.
- Dreaming about delicious food. Cooking delicious food. Possibly sharing delicious food.
- Dogs! Gotta love em.
- Learning about new cultures and studying new languages.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Cycled 700km's across Malaysia in 6 days. About 120km's a day. Almost no build up training. Super thankful for the friendly locals along the way, my cycling buddy Reece, and my special padded underwear.

What I Can Share with Hosts

- A beautiful Alberta home which I share with my fantastic Grandpa!
- A massive backyard filled with a fishpond / waterfalls, new BBQ, and forest like appearance (almost every night rabbits, deer and other local animals drop by for a drink from the pond or a snack from the yard)
- Your own private room. (Two extra private rooms and four couches)
- A farm near by to show you the open Prairies. (4x4 quad to show you the lake and land)
