My Partner, Sean, and I are currently on a cross BC bike tour, taking the Great Trail east towards Fernie and then up to Banff and going back south to end in Glacier Park, MT. We both are on hardtail titanium mountain bikes and have been tackling single tack, back roads, gravel and some pavement as we make our way east. We love to mountain bike and backpack and thus combined these loves into this long awaited trip. We are both graduate students learning from the trail during our break from the books. We both speak Spanish and English and have lived in different countries in the Americas, however are just getting to know Canada. Sean is from the dry state of Arizona and I’m from Canada’s annex, Minnesota.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

On couchsurfing to meet others that can enlighten me with new perspectives, stories, languages, and cultures. Unfortunately cannot host right now, but I have hosted surfers in the past and would love to be your couch surfer, cook you a nice meal, and share a drink with you.
