Hi! You may noticed my reply rate is on the low side. This is because I tend not to reply to people who:
1) Clearly just joined couchsurfing so they can stay someplace for free, and put little effort into their profile. No anons, please!
2) Have not hosted/have not tried to host/do not have valid reasons for not being able to host or otherwise have not tried to contribute to the community. Take a couch/leave a couch only works if people are actually leaving couches;
3) Wrote me a really generic, uninteresting request and ostensibly did not read my profile at all. Try to make me feel special, I respond well to flattery.
4) Are a single, straight dude (especially those that are guilty of 1-3 above.) Sorry dudes, I'm sure you're great, but my lady and I are trying to make a safe space for women and queer folk who need a place to stay.

I am a curious, adventurous, distracted, activity-seeker/doer with a philosophical and political tendency toward social and environmental justice. I like pretty much every sport and activity, especially the outdoorsy kind but also indoorsy sometimes too.

I just moved to Kelowna, BC as a trailing spouse, and so am looking to meet interesting, kind, engaged, sociable, playful, fun, etc. folks. Oh! I'm also looking to make a band here. Wanna be in my band? The genre is kinda... you know. Whatever, really.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My girlfriend and I are hoping to have a safe space for women and queer folk who are travelling through town and could use a place to stay.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've mostly hosted folks, but surfed a bit. That was when i was living in Toronto, and I haven't hosted for a few years do to my general shifty/inconsistent whereabouts/living situations.

I'm more settled, these days--but on the other side of the country.

Interests

Most things (i.e. nearly all sporty + outdoorsy things, painting, music, and the rest).

Also, building community in a really big and lonely world.

And the big money question: ideology, and how it manifests itself (and is dug up).

• traveling
• painting
• music
• hiking
• sports

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking in Switzerland, hiking the grand canyon, hiking the Juan de Fuca trail, fiestas en Caracas, breathtaking vistas, getting kicked out of the Trump towers, etc.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm going to be humble for now and go the learn route.
