About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To add something I've curated to the world market.

ABOUT ME

Recently took a big leap and am so far loving the fall. Quit my 9-5 last June with my partner to see if we could get even closer at finding what it is we want to do. Since then have driven across Canada, travelled up North, flew to Maui so we could read for an entire month on the beach, lived in a few cabins out in the woods and eventually landed on Vancouver after discovering we could bike all year round. Have been working on an idea we've had for quite sometime and are just about ready to release it to the world. Pretty excited to see what happens next.

PHILOSOPHY

Find all those things that make you feel incredible and surround yourself with fully.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe in the platform and the philosophy behind couch surfing . I am always astonished by how many things I am able to learn and pick up as a result of the people that cross my path on this platform.

Couchsurfing Experience:

Travelled around Quebec, England, France, Italy and Amsterdam couch surfing.
Finally go the chance to offer a spare bedroom I had while doing my Masters and was luck enough to host over 20 people from all around the world.
