About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Saving up enough money from tree planting in BC and gaining knowledge from working on farms also, so that I can come home to NB and start developing my land and social projects. Working towards being as self sustainable as possible and maintaining my gardens and caring for animals. Developing social systems that holistically serve local communities along with their lands and ecosystems.

ABOUT ME

I like people. I have a "hippie" mentality as my friends and family would say. I have a passion for Agriculture and Community. Campfires over clubs any day. I tree planted three seasons and worked on a few Farms and Ranches over the years. I love being on the road and chasing the seasons. Now looking to put my experiences to the test back home in NB.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We are a couple moving back to NB from BC on a tight budget. We are both well traveled and well mannered. We originally drove NB to BC in the late fall of 2017 spent a year in BC and are ready to return home and get settled in with our dreams and ambitions lined up!

**We have a 8lb dog who is NOT known to be “yappy” she is well behaved and loves everyone!**

Interests

My interests include: martial arts, board games, music, movies, sociology, philosophy, volunteering, anything outdoors, farmers markets, meditation, camping. Feel free to ask me anything else :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Top Five Movies: Children of Men, The Book of Eli, Into the Wild, Interstellar and The Watchmen. Does Gladiator need to be mentioned or “ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!”

I play guitar, percussions and sing. I played a few wind instruments here and there but nothing really stuck with me. My father always said "If you wanna be a musician you have to learn to appreciate all music" like most people I have my preferences in music. I much prefer live music over recorded. I play what people like to hear generally but when it comes to listening to it I will always have punk music at the top of my list (I'm picky with my punk though) Jazz and Folk I’ve been leaning towards lately.

I'm still trying to learn what interests me in books. I don't read as much as I'd like to unfortunately. Read The Hobbit and am currently reading Zen and The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have hitchhiked across Canada in 4.5 days!
