I'm 28 years old. I bike a lot, play board games, meditate, produce music, play piano, cook, climb trees, and enjoy everything to do with outside missions and adventures. Being respectful means a lot to me; respectful of space, belongings, and life styles, as much as one could hope to get in return. I enjoy spending time with people, being creative and silly, breaking gender norms, and building connections.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Standard tourism and travel can be boring, I want to meet and connect with locals and really get immersed in the experience.

I have been both a surfer and a host. I lived in a large collective house in Montreal which housed many surfers. My current space is too small to host. Hopefully I'll have a space for surfers to stay at in the near future.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Drove south from Vancouver BC through Seattle to Portland, where we were randomly offered a spare bedroom to stay in for a week while we explored the city. Then drove east, through Northern USA all the way to Montreal in a Volkswagen Westfalia. Stopping on the way in Yellow Stone Park late one night, sitting outside the vehicle eating canned chili, looking up at a perfectly clear sky full of stars, no responsibilities, something I'll never forget.

I might have played video games professionally as a kid. Derp.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach:
Dumpstering - I love sharing with people the 'how, where, when, whys' of dumpstering. Followed up by a healthy free meal, everyone should try it at least once.

Computers - I can help teach or solve most computer related problems that the average user would come across. With the help of Google, most tech stuff is extremely accessible; it's mostly how to find the answers.

Learn:
Instruments, Metal Work, Cooking, Slacklining
