CURRENT MISSION

learn how to survive imminent polar bear invasion.

ABOUT ME

i'm an easy-going, independent, adventurous guy. when i'm not working too much (as an artist i fluctuate between being really busy and really free) i like to travel and have seen most of canada and much of the usa. i like to meet people, see things, think about ideas, learn a lot, and just generally experience the world. i try to stay mobile and i'm a minimalist by nature. even when i'm settled i tend to live out of a backpack.

PHILOSOPHY

should this be some sort of profound quote?

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

after many years of couchlessness i finally have one i can offer to travelers. so please come stay on my couch!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i have lived a couch surfing life for so long i can't even remember. i have surfed couches from newfoundland to vancouver to ireland to mexico. i have also housed surfers from all over canada and parts of the united states. long before i even heard of this site it seems someone always managed to find their way onto my couch. it's great having company - i love cooking + eating together and hanging out, going out, seeing music/art/film/theatre/culture.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

in 2007 i biked across north america as an art project - best idea ever! 5 months, 8200km, 8 exhibitions, 6 jars of peanut butter, a million new friends and only 4 flat tires. passing bears on the road at less that 20 metres was a bit scary, but otherwise everything was amazing! check out my website: http://www.bicyclerehabilitationproject.com

in 2009 i lived alone on a deserted island 30km off the north coast of newfoundland, again for the sake of art. check out my blog here:
