I'm a Canadian currently living in Berlin. I work in journalism and radio, and currently my main work is making a podcast on climate change (www.elephantpodcast.org)
Before coming to Berlin I lived two years in Toronto, and grew up in small town ontario.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new interesting people and explore interesting places!

Interests

I like looking at old maps, exploring rivers and lakes, and seeing new places!
I love podcasts, and public radio, and listen to a lot of NPR, CBC, and the main podcasts out there (This American Life, Fresh Air, Radiolab etc.)
I'm really interested in politics, philosophy, psychology, climate change, and keep up on the news.
I love walking around and exploring new cities, and reading lots of different things, especially non-fiction and magazines like The New Yorker and Harper's.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once canoed down the Mississippi River for three months with a friend of mine! We started in Northern Minnesota at the headwaters, and got all the way to past St. Louis, before we lost our canoe, and got stranded on an island new New Madrid, Missouri. You can check out a short video of the first half of our trip here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDqvNn2kbMs
