I live and work and play on a small island off the coast of BC named Haida Gwaii. I moved to this village (population 900) 2 years ago to be closer to nature and get a break from the city (Though I still love city life).
I love going on all sorts of adventures ... Hiking, kayaking, late night dancing, biking through cities seeking out good food and music. Wandering around quiet hidden neighborhoods and discovering new haunts.
I still love to shoot film and try to set up my darkroom when I have free time to work on photography... Mostly personal/landscape/travel themes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hope to meet some people to hang out with and see the places they live from a local's perspective... Find out about people, learn what life has taught or untaught them.
Maybe go hear live music, check out some art, experience some your secret favourite gems :)
