Life enthusiast. I love exploring, adventuring and learning about the world in which we live. It is beautiful – the ups and the downs – it all brings us an appreciation of what we experience each day. From the most beautiful and serene natural environments, to connecting with some of the most incredible people and recognizing different ways of living, it all offers so much.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have learned so much over the past few years, and continue to strive for new teachings, understandings, and how we see the world around us.
Every person has a different academic, cultural, and historical background that offers a unique lens and perspective on how see the world, and I believe that this is incredibly valuable!
I strive to share and connect with people of diverse upbringings and get excited about learning about different ways of seeing the world, and hearing about new experiences.

I have learned a lot through my university education, through a Nuu-chah-nulth upbringing, from all the amazing people I have met, and through all the challenges I've experienced. I have a wealth of knowledge in understanding relationships and connections, inspiring others, and unique experiences from the Canadian West Coast, being immersed in Tico/Tica culture, and engaging myself as an exchange student on the Gold Coast of Australia.

I am always keen to listen, share, and learn with others :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Exciting stories, curious questions, and a listening ear. With shared love and respect, I do my best to reciprocate generosity and have a background in cleaning, cooking, and being an all around great guy!
