I love meeting new people and learning new perspectives. I get energized by working on decentralized mutual aid projects. I've helped start a bike repair co-op, started an urban fruit tree project, started a street medic team, and now help connect people with acquired brain injuries with services. I'm developing an easy to teach bodywork and self care system.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a diy punk at heart and love spending time with people who colour outside the lines.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went on a 2 and a half month long hike with my best friend in my early 20s. We walked through Quebec and into New Brunswick, in the Spring. I was born with clubfeet, so we carried as little as we could handle safely and foraged over half of our food. Our 30lb packs could last us over a week in the bush and we had cheap gear. I had never felt as close to nature, or as healthy​ as then. Walking into the woods and it feeling like home is something I wish everyone could experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach and share:

bicycle repair
a bit of car repair
foraging and taking care of yourself in the woods
street medic protocols
carpentry
a very easy to learn massage method that gets great results

I'd love to learn:

another language
massage techniques
sewing
plant knowledge
a new way of looking at things
