Overview
About Me
Taking a break from travel to work and live the dream in Whistler, Canada (while saving up for our next big trip)
I'm outgoing and always up for new experiences and adventures, whether that's kicking it in the bush, or learning a new drinking game.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
No better way of travelling than to hang out with the locals! Learn the culture, share stories, and make friends with people from around the world who all have travel on the mind. Eventually when I'm in a place that has room for guests, can't wait to pay back some favours in the Couchsurfing community and host.
Interests
Chasing waterfalls like TLC
Also have the occasional romp around the city to see the sights, and maybe a couple brews on a patio.
Enjoy the odd whiskey (Canadian Club, of course), and if you've never had a Bloody Caesar before then you haven't lived.
Road trips, scenic hikes, watching multiple episodes of tv series in one sitting, coastal views, maps, good food, reading a book cover to cover, visiting wineries and craft breweries.

Teach, Learn, Share
I'm a part time florist, part time calligrapher, part time server (the easiest way to fund travels in Canada!) I love seeing other peoples' art work and creative outlets.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Always up for a chat and a few laughs, especially if we're sharing over food. I like to cook from time to time. Tea, beers, wine, water, or whiskey, and hopefully some good stories.
