Inn and Restaurant manager from the island of Newfoundland, Canada. I work for 6 months of the year and have 6 months off which is when I travel. So far I have explored 37 countries. Because I spend a large portion of my life taking care of guests I do my best to be a conscientious and considerate house guest.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For the social experience, to see aspects of areas that only locals really know about and to make long term travel affordable.

Teach, Learn, Share

Not many people know about Newfoundland and its culture, but I am happy to fill you in on my island's strange and amazing ways. If you have a fiddle on hand I can even play you a tune.

I love learning about the political and social situations of the places I am visiting and having general discussions about everyday life.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I've traveled to a lot of places and am happy to impart advice about places you may want to go. I'll be up front, I am not the world's best cook but I can definitely boil you some pasta!
