Overview
About Me
Born in Canada and living near Hudson’s Bay when not traveling, have a renewed appreciation for winter wonderland (2018)
We are what we repeatedly do, excellences then is not an act, but a habit
Traveling Yogi/acrobat/healer cocreating magic moments with new and old friends around the world.
I Grew up a tall lanky discombobulated kid who then got interested in human performance and accessing our potential.
I studied martial arts, served with the military, worked corporate sales, Compteted in sports, bartended, lived on the streets/in the woods, got into Yoga. I found some mentors and studied the areas in Holistic Health and Nutrition, Energy Healing, Psychology and other areas of Human growth and performance.
It's funny when I was young I saw Cirque du Soleil and wanted to run away with the circus, now when I'm teaching and performing people relate what I do in the same category.
I love to go on adventures and play, meet new friends around the world and inspired AWESOMENESS everywhere.
Now I host Vitality Health, Healing, Adventure, Partner based/Acro Yoga workshops/trainings around North and Central America (soon to be global)
I'm excited to continue to Learn through the amazing experiences of every day
PHILOSOPHY
if you limit your choices only to what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want and all that's left is compromise.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
- Make new friends
- Experience local Cultures the legit way
- Find places to stay in new regions of the world I visit with others who want culture sharing
- Share adventure stories, travel tips and create new awesome memories.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I've been on the road now for 44 months. backpacked Canada to Costa Rica. western Europe and Australia.
Last Year teaching Yoga at NGO's and children in villages around central america (last 5 months) and and leading Acro Jams and Accelerated Healing (sessions/workshops). used CS to help fill the gaps between where I had logistics covered
I have mostly been staying with Friends and using CS to fill in the gaps, which has lead to making some new amazing friends around the world. Still have only surfed a handful of times, and it was great each and every one of them.
I would like to do so more while I'm exploring this amazing world we all call home

spent 47 months on the road spanning 16 countries on 3 continenets
Ran across Maui and up Haleakala crater over night and arrived in time for sunset (26 miles/ 10,000 ft elevation in 8hrs 15 min with my vacation bags)
Survived an attempted raid by a truck of Nicaraguan soldiers and police on a road trip from El Salvador to Costa Rica
wake up in the morning on purpose and alive (repeatedly)
Helped people who thought they couldn't do yoga or acrobatics experience the practice and learn they are more capable then they thought
and just this very moment I heard someone outside whistling "little fugue in G-" I opened up the window and started whistling along (played that song on xylophone in high school)
Backpacked from Toronto down east coast through Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica (and on way back... that was awesome)
