CURRENT MISSION

I'm going to Indonesia to paddle for the Canadian Team in the World Rafting Championships (http://bit.ly/1I1SqbA). I'm then planning on motorcycling around SE Asia, hopefully Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos, before returning back to Canada.

ABOUT ME

I've been working as a whitewater raft guide in Canada and New Zealand for the past 10 years.

I also own a small farm with some friends, where I keep some bees while my pals grow vegetables.

When I'm not working, I love to whitewater kayak, bicycle, snowboard, rock climb, attend concerts and check out art galleries.

PHILOSOPHY

Be open to new people and ideas. Never stop exploring.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When on the road, I'm interested in meeting people and learning about favourite places to see along the way.

At home, I'm keen to host people when available.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Been amazing so far. So much generosity and kindness.

Interests

I'm active: snowboarding, climbing, kayaking, rafting, sailing, cycling, etc.

I like the world and meeting people. I'm more interested in interesting solutions that are sustainable rather than the same old ways.

I like public radio.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Wes Anderson, Documentaries

Books: Anything about sailing, adventure. Fiction, with a bit of humour/history is great too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Cycled almost 3,000km around the coast of Australia, in 26 days.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: How to setup a website. How to roll a kayak. How to tie sailing knots.

Learn: More about photography. How to weld.

Share: The dishes, I don't mind washing/drying/both.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories, laughs, a meal (and share of the cooking).
