Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to host anyone who stops by Sarnia, and I want to go out and meet other CS hosts out there. Although if you come by my house, be prepared to enjoy some good beer, music and conversation.
I love bicycle touring. I love bicycles. I would be happy to host as many cyclist coming through as possible. I have many bikes, and I have many tools and bike parts lying around. even if my couch is occupied, my backyard is big so you can easily pitch a tent back there.
I also spend a lot of my time working on my photography and shooting documentaries. I would love to tell you about my projects, hear about yours. I also love watching films and studying the work of other photographers. I would love to chat about this stuff too!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Everyone who's stopped by has been great. I feel honored to have different people from different parts of the world come and experience my little slice of the planet.
