About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live a happy life

ABOUT ME

I grew up on the West coast of Canada, moved around the world a bunch for study/work and recently moved back to the West coast. Collected plenty of stories along the way, which I'd be happy to share if we get the chance to meet.

PHILOSOPHY

An inconvenience is only an adventure wrongly
considered; an adventure is an inconvenience rightly considered.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've done a little bit of couchsurfing and been fortunate enough to be able to host a few people. What I really like about couch surfing is that you get to meet some awesome locals and get a completely different experience of a place. What I like about hosting is the chance to give back to an incredible community of like-minded people and get to learn a bit more about the world through other peoples travels. I've also used the Warm Showers community to host and be hosted while doing cycling tours.

Interests

Ultimate Frisbee, meditation, cycling, cooking, traveling, tennis, hiking/camping, etc.
