CURRENT MISSION

Breathe fresh air, celebrate this moment, nurture relationships, travel

ABOUT ME

Retired medical professional. Kale salad expert. Born and raised in northern British Columbia, now live in Vancouver. I like adventure and serendipity. This year will find me walking from Porto to Santiago de Compostela, and hiking the canyons in Arizona and Utah. I have helped build school classrooms for the last 5 years - this year in Ethiopia. :)

PHILOSOPHY

Health is wealth.
Celebration - every day.
The journey is the reward.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My goal is to be open to couchsurfers whenever I am not traveling. This will vary, as I also have out of town guests and friends who also visit Vancouver. :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I joined CS in September 2011. I have had the pleasure of connecting with the CS community here at home and overseas.
