traveling solo since 2009, occasionally with a friend. I've been taking the last summer off from traveling, just staying in Western Canada for the most part. Now Ive just driven across Canada to Halifax, and am flying to Europe to start my next project ; with80pounds.weebly.com

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting like-minded people, and sometimes it's nice to not just wing it every time you go to a new place.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Almost not making it back alive after a scary epic on Denali.

Having a snowball fight in the depths of winter from the warmth of hot springs in the middle of a forest in the Canadian north.

Camping out 3 days on a black sand volcanic beach underneath 10'000ft+ high mountains and a calving glacier.. sunny days, grizzlies, good food, good company.

Getting stranded on a haunted caribbean island with no money, and in the ensuing weeks swimming out to boats to try to hitch a ride to Panama.

Enjoying mango and pineapple gelato after criscrossing Rome on foot all day.
