I grew up on a farm in Saskatchewan, went to university in Alberta and now live in Quebec. I have visited a few other places along the way, but not many...yet. I hope to travel more in the future.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Initially, I started with coffee meet ups while visiting my parents home in Phoenix, which was fantastic. When arriving in Quebec and not knowing anyone, I tried going for coffee again and ended up finding an amazing group of friends. Finally I started hosting at my new home in Quebec and it has been a truly wonderful experience getting to meet such nice people from all over the world :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a metallurgist, so if you are interested in metallurgy, I could share some knowledge there. I really enjoy sports (especially hockey and ultimate frisbee), so I can share some ideas there as well. I am open to learning lots of new things, so you can simply share your passions with me :)
