I'm a Vancouver-born hiking enthusiast that spent the last few years living in East Africa, Central Asia, and the Middle East. My partner and I based in the United Kingdom (Oxford) for the foreseeable future.

We enjoy spontaneous adventures and people with good hearts that know what Couchsurfing is all about.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a wonderful community to be a part of. Our guests are consistently a delight and hospitality we've received is a constant source of inspiration. We are indebted to the CS community and hope to reciprocate!
