CURRENT MISSION

To see clearly, to understand, and be compassionate.

ABOUT ME

I just bought my own house in downtown Winnipeg. Now I'm trying to balance going to school and paying for/fixing up my house. I like traveling, but it's difficult for both time and money to coincide, so I travel vicariously through couchsurfers and other friends. For the recent past and forseeable future, I spend my summers treeplanting and my winters in the peg, studying. Hopefully I'll get to squeeze some traveling in there somewhere...

PHILOSOPHY

peace, justice, fair trade, enjoy life and help those who need it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Haven't had the chance to travel via CS yet, but have hosted numerous times. Till now, no unexplained CS related deaths in my home. Hope to continue that trend.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

For some reason, there have been a bunch of people travelling through Winnipeg in the middle of winter. I can't quite figure out why, but we're glad to have you. We've hosted a bunch of times now, and we've had some great conversations. Hope more of you will come around.
