About Me

Currently working at a resort in Parksville BC on Vancouver Island. I've lived in Ontario, Alberta, and now BC. I love playing sports or just getting outside with hockey, soccer, baseball, snowboarding, hiking, and kayaking. I have backpacked most of Europe and South East Asia. I was a Bartender for a good few years at resorts across Canada.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have always loved the idea of couch surfing and took part for the first time in Hawaii. It wasn't the smoothest event but is a story to tell now. Thought I could help out by hosting and meeting some people. Nanaimo has been a great experience, there is so much to do here, I don't mind being a guide as I am still learning too!

Music, Movies, and Books

Basically anything but Country, though I will entertain it at times.

All movies, I'm addicted to Netflix and can often be suckered into hours of Tedtalks. Yes I realize how crazy my life sounds :)
