I live in east Vancouver. I used to run a successful restaurant but have decided to get back to work as a writer. I'm working on some fiction stories right now and looking to start doing some travel writing, as well.

I grew up in southern Ontario just about an hour outside Toronto in an idyllic small town. I have worked in independent book stores, multi-national electronics companies, restaurants, and newswire services. Through it all I have maintained most of my sanity and sense of humour.

I love books and music. I want to see more of the world and share my experiences with people through writing and photographs.

I also want to learn how to cook food from different cultures around the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Recommended by friends. Seems like a great place to develop a network of trusted people around the world who can help me get settled in a city or town or wherever.

I will be able to reciprocate and help others, too.
