About Me

I'm an eccentric character who left home in 2010 for what was supposed to be a 6 month backpacking trip then ended up teaching scuba diving and yoga around the world for 7 years. In 2017 I moved to west coast Canada and spent 5 years training to be an Acupuncturist and Phytotherapist. I just graduated this past summer and am coming to Berlin to work with Acupuncturists without Borders supporting the current refugee communities.

I've lived and worked in dozens of countries across 4 continents, my end of year plans are to settle in Zanzibar on an Acupuncture placement in a local hospital whilst also ideally doing some part time scuba instruction. I adore living on the west coast of Canada and would like to eventually return but after 5 years of school I'm off exploring again x

P.S. this isn’t a dating site, please don’t treat it like that

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CS was a large part of my life in my earlier years abroad, always surfing or hosting or general meet ups. I love and appreciate this site for all its done for my and many other peoples journeys to connect. I used to adore hitchhiking as my primary mode of transport and combining that with couchsurfing was the best way to meet folks and have some weird local adventures.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A hurricane in Jamaica changed my life. Simple as that.

A partner and I decided to pick up some cheap 3 gear bicycles and ride 450km through the Cascadian mountain ranges to get to Vancouver. That was a questionable yet awesome life decision.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to breath underwater and how to identify more fish then you will ever sanely need to know. Also I paint astrology charts and if you ask sweetly Ill even tell you what they mean.

Teach me anything and everything, it's what we're here for.
