About Me

I'm Canadian living in France since 2015, in a small mountain village in the Pyrenees. Spending most of my free time gardening, hiking, biking, etc.

I work as a freelance photographer and film-maker, and in the past few years have been mostly interested in subjects related to permaculture, and sustainable models of agriculture. You can see possiblemedia.org for some of my video work.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been hosted many times, and now looking to return the favor. I was hosted several times in the US while traveling for a film project, and met some great people every time.

Now I'm finally able to host people, welcome! :-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hum... running into a grizzly bear on my first hike ever in the Canadian Rockies? Driving a taxi in Accra? Being arrested and detained by drunken soldiers in Guinea?
