Canadian born, internationally lived, and always on the move.

Currently living in a small town in the Rocky Mountains in Canada. I have lived in Spain for 5 years, Belgium for a year and have backpacked around the world, most recently Central and South America.

I speak English/Spanish/French and try pick up bits and pieces from those who teach me their language.

Things I don't shut up about:
Food/cooking
Beer
language/linguistics
eco-sustainability
Film
Being goofy

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Here to experience traveling in a different way and meet people I otherwise wouldn't meet that also share similar values.

My taste in books range from non fiction, philosophical, historical fiction to fantasy, and poetry. A few of my favourites include: The Doors of Perception by Aldous Huxley, A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini..

movies: the science of sleep, whale rider, moulin rouge, factory girl, truman show, amelie, run lola run, grand budapest hotel, divines... the list goes on....

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Made my mama proud.

If I could pick one, it would be the cycling i did through the Basque country in Spain on my way to Pamplona.
I’ve also peaked mountains in Canada that I never thought would be possible
