About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To get fit for surf school! Heading back to Mexico for 3 weeks more of surf lessons

ABOUT ME

Lately, with teaching I've been very busy and not able to host. I will be away from the Yukon all summer, but I hope to start hosting again soon.

I have been all over the place in the last 4 years since returning from The Netherlands. It's been crazy. I've lived in Costa Rica, Alberta and Ontario, completed yet another degree, and have had many adventures. Today's adventure: paddleboarding in freezing cold water, I hope I don't fall in!

PHILOSOPHY

I'm all about hope and trying to see the beauty in the little things...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking Cerro Chirripó in Costa Rica. My knee did not work properly for more than a week afterwards. Spectacular scenery, wildlife viewing and ecology.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like to be able to show surfers my city, Whitehorse, and hopefully show them things they wouldn't discover on their own. I would like to learn more about anything, but if I had to pick, I'd say sustainable building, new languages, and how to be more zen.
