ABOUT ME

I have a preference for independent solo travelers for one to two nights stays.

I traveled the world from Chile to South Korea, from Arctic to Antarctica, been there - done that! Only part I am missing is somewhere in the Pacific. Then Ottawa chose me and I settled here. Life works in mysterious ways!

PHILOSOPHY

Only he who knows what is enough, will always have enough - Lao Tzu

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Occasionally surf and host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have some and always a blast! I love exploring new places and revisiting favorite destinations. Knowing someone local makes a huge difference. I enjoy having guests over as well and welcoming strangers to my world has been a very rewarding experience so far.
