*Fall 2018: I've just moved to Ontario and am unlikely to be able to accommodate visitors in the near future. I will update here if that changes. Sorry to anyone who's tried to get in touch with me lately!*

I'm a pretty decent human with a rad roommate and two wonderful/horrible cats. We are grownups with grownup jobs (!!!) who also like to go to shows and laze about and eat things. We are big into riding bikes so if you're bike touring we'll a) likely get along and b) be able to show you more of Edmonton.

I don't travel super a lot but when I do I tend to avoid hotels and $$$ nonsense. I like to explore and meet folks and chill! Couchsurfing, oh hey, what an excellent way to do so!

Also, I'm pretty independent when I do travel, especially if I can get hold of a bike or if public transit is pretty good where I am. I do welcome hangouts, tours, and company, happily, but do not require hand-holding.:)

We do already often have ppl stay at our house, usually IRL friends of friends but sometimes interweb friends of friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To find places to stay but also, pending coolness with my roommate (which is usually the case), to provide same.

Music, Movies, and Books

Too many! Seriously, I could put stuff down but it would be so, so, long.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Learned to drive a standard! (Recent accomplishment; still a little jerky but extremely proud.)

Uhhhh I planted trees one summer!

I recently cut out my own mouth stitches. They were driving me bananas! (It was basically pretty much time for them to come out anyway.)

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach French and Fashions so we can have language convos and I can show you how to fix your blown-out pants/basic functional or decorative things.

I can also show you guitar and ukulele chords!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Tours of and hangouts in my cool neighbourhood; further afield if you're bringing a bike!

We have a lot of books that you're welcome to read while you're here and a cat who may try to walk on your face while you're sleeping.

Countries I’ve Visited
