I love travelling. I've been all over the world

But where I grew up....the Kootenay region of the Canadian Rockies will always be a special place for me.

I am curious to explore outdoorsy places...I love backcountry skiing, hiking, camping, running, but I also love travelling for big events like music festivals....New Orleans Jazz fest is one of my favourites and I've gone two straight years now! I work as a journalist which allows me to be location independent.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Countless times on my travels around the world I have been on the receiving end of uber generous locals. I want to pay that forward!
