Hi,
My wife and I are excited to host some travelers for a day or two in Vancouver Island North.
I volunteered with AIESEC in Ukraine and China helping students and young professionals. Had a great time doing that. I lived in Ternopil, Kyiv, Guangzhou, Beijing, Moscow, Manchester, and now I’m based in a small town of Port Hardy.
I work remotely, read books, cycle daily and occasionally hike.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To help and to meet new people
