About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To create and share health foods. To have meaningful adventures while traveling and rock climbing.

ABOUT ME

I grew up in the smallest province in Canada, Prince Edward Island. I lived in the nice city of Charlottetown. I studied in Kingston, Ontario, and abroad in Dublin. I worked in Toronto for three years and have sinced moved to Halifax.

I have traveled to twenty two countries. I want to couch surf more in the future as a way of getting to know places, people and language better.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm focused on setting up my own business. But, what my heart craves most is adventure so I make sure to make time for myself and adventure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have stayed with over ten different hosts and hosted three groups. I also refered a couple surfers when I was unable to host.

I hope to host more often once I get set up in Halifax.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couch surfed in Alicante, Spain - Sofia and Plovdiv, Bulgaria - and co-hosted in Dublin, Ireland. Referred cs'ers to a friend in Charlottetown. I hosted guests in Toronto.

Interests

I love spending time in nature, foraging, learning new languages, cooking, cycling, camping, rock climbing and ice climbing. I also really enjoy snowboarding and water sports, like surfing.

I started a locally and ecologically focused business in the health food industry.

Family is important to me as well.
