English speaking Canadian from Vancouver Island. I studied German and have spent a fair amount of time in Europe.

I love to travel and meet new people. My favourites activities are hiking, drinking new and interesting beers, skiing...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

after hearing about my roommates excellent time couchsurfing in the US I decided to give it a shot!

I am interested in meeting new people and finding places I may not have otherwise seen!

Music, Movies, and Books

My taste in music is eclectic but includes lots of indie rock, dad music, folk singers, musicals.
I love Neil Gaiman, Tolkien, books that give me melancholy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm not sure if this is amazing, but I managed to lock myself out of an apartment in a small town and had to walk three blocks in my pyjamas to get it sorted out...

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to share all kinds of information I've picked up over the years - be it about languages, the holocaust, beer, wine, culture, anything! My expertise is in German stuff since that is what I studied but I enjoy learning almost anything so I have some weird knowledge!

What I Can Share with Hosts

A good sense of humour, a friendly open disposition, a fairly good knowledge of beer, and depressing history facts (particularly about the second world war).
