About Me

It’s been a long time since I last used couch surfing and was just thinking about how much I miss it. Currently on the road— Italy /Venice bound

ABOUT ME

Love music, food, people (most days), kids, coffee and puppies. Yup. Maybe throw in some pie.
Travel has been a major part of my past, and I’m just starting to step back into it. For now, Vancouver is the home base.

PHILOSOPHY

Live, love and eat pie
Be kind, curious and full of adventure

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Meet new people, meet more new people. Have hosted at home in Canada as well as have surfed along the east coast of USA

Currently living in a small space with not much capacity to host but I’m happy to grab a drink and point you in the direction of some awesome stuff

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Through college, I often found myself with the following: my backpack full of books, my duffle full of clothes, my guitar and my laptop. Trade the laptop for a skateboard, and that filled about 5 years of my life.

Dropped off CS for a while but am back :)

Interests

Being physically active (sports etc), making music, working with theatre and live bands....eating all different kinds of food! ... Walking around on chilly days with warm drinks, walking around on warm days with minimal clothing.
Riding anything with wheels.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to play guitar, and am self taught. I've got more than one, so if you're interested, I can help you pick up the basics.
Also, because I work in the theatre/festival/music industry, I can point you in many a good direction for entertainment of the city I live in.
I love traveling and can share stories of places I've been and places I want to go to, and would love to hear the stories from other people.
I've lived in Vancouver for 13 years now(on and off), and have experienced it as a tourist, a traveler, and as a Vancouverite.

Conversation, music, wine, cooking

Countries I’ve Visited

Argentina, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Guatemala, Mexico, Peru, United States
