I'm an arctic archaeologist who travels both for work and fun. I've been really lucky to live and work all over Canada. I'll trade you some information about your city for a completely useless factoid?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I prefer to travel to an area and meet someone local so they can show me why their home is truly lovely. I'm always lucky enough to make new friends when I travel so why not try to find some via CS? My apartment is very small but I do have a comfy couch for crashing!

Interests

Prehistory, anthropology, whales, retro gaming, beer, trivia, wine, pretty much all types of cheese, trying new foods, trying new activities, camping, the arctic. I also do this weird thing called flintknapping and I can teach you if you'd like.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I helped exhume mass graves from the Somali Civil War in order to bring about justice and allow family members to bury the victims.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a LOT about marine mammals, the Arctic and archaeology and will talk about those things for hours if you let me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a lot of great stories about all the bears that have chased me. Sometimes I wonder how I'm still alive.

I'm new to London but hopefully I'll soon be able to show people around.
