ABOUT ME

Hey everyone!I am a lover of all forms of travel. I have sailed a year in the Caribbean with my family, backpacked through Europe and SE Asia, driven across Canada. Currently making my way through Bali and Australia!

PHILOSOPHY

Live, Love, LaughTwenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. - Mark Twain

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

This is my second couch surfing account. I have been in school the last couple of years and my account was inactive. But I am back! I have hosted in the past, never surfing myself. Looking forward to meeting some new travellers!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just hosting, but looking for more! One particular night in the summer I hosted 1 solo Canadian couch surfer, 2 New Zealand girls and 4 mixed European surfers! It was an interesting experience - all positive!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In my sailing experience I have sailed from Antigua in the Caribbean all the way home to Cape Breton. Its a long time at sea and we hit some bad weather! Amazing experience! More recently in fall 2014 we tried returning to the Caribbean with our sailboat. We encountered some incredibly high winds and waves. Sustaining significant damage to the boat. We were forced to return after 2 nights at sea. It was an adventure!
