About Me

A very very VERY small town southern Albertan boy.

I love love love seeing new and beautiful places/things, especially in my own country as there is SO much of it to discover. I am a sucker for new experiences, ready to try the things that bring my life purpose and pleasure. I've learned that to really get to know a place one has to get to know the people and Couchsurfing allows for one to check both boxes.

Sitting down in places of comfort like pubs and cafes with nice weather is the absolute best way for me to spend any night of the week, especially when the company is nothing less than exciting! I just finished a year of living without have a long term home and I LOVED every second of it.

Sucker Creek, Dawson City, Fort Bragg, Chios, Bushe River, Tracadie.Thank you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Joined couchsurfing after piggybacking off a friends account while travelling together around north-western Canada in the fall of 2017. Saved us from some very cold nights and the conversations were always very warm.

It was so insane the people who you ended up meeting and the conversations you would share. Hoping to be able to continue to meet such incredible individuals, share stories, knowledge, and bengal spice tea. I LOVE to hear stories and really appreciate getting to know someone's life from beginning to end because there is no way to live all the different possible lives out there!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Survived spending two months, 24/7 with two people in a van. Survived I'm realizing is the wrong word. We THRIVED. Cannot picture my life without this time with these people.
