CURRENT MISSION

Meeting new people and having more wonderful conversations.

ABOUT ME

I love meeting new people. I'm the first person to strike up a conversation with you on the sidewalk / bus / cycling path. I try to hike as often as my commuting abilities will let me. I cycle at least once a day. In the summer I forget what the inside of my apartment looks like. In the winter I couldn't tell you what the spaces beyond my kitchen are like. I dabble in everything and will try anything (well, nearly) once.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love hosting people, being hosted and generally meeting people from across the globe. I wish I could do it more often. Now that I'm living in the (rural) country it seems rare that people will want to stay here. And please know that if I don't reply right away its because I'm off in the woods somewhere- you're still welcome to find me there ;).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've housed a few travelers in Vancouver for multiple nights. I've been housed in Toronto on a couple of occassions. I haven't had a bad experience yet - and would prefer not to!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My favourite experience this lifetime is hiking the West Coast Trail. If you've every thought about doing it please ask me about my experience! There will be many more trail hikes to come.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm more of a learner than a teacher these days. Teach me to knit, fix bikes, garden or play the guitar. I can talk your ear off about food politics, eating local and living on the line of happy and healthy.
