I am a chef, easygoing, social, love to motorbike and mountain bike. I was born and raised in Vancouver and love the outdoors. I think I have many suggestions to offer to visitors to Vancouver that would like to experience the outdoors or perhaps some great places to go eat.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on coach surfing mainly because i enjoy meeting new people and opportunity to exchange information about great places to see and fun things to do. I'm going to Italy in 2 months on a motorbike tour and visit my daughter who will be visiting Amalfi. I thought this would be a great opportunity to meet some locals and would welcome to meet and host some new friends myself.

Like all kinds of music but my favorite at the moment is alternative rock, funny and true story movies. When I have time to read I enjoy spy novels and books about spirituality and travel.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have coached mountain biking in the past, done some cooking classes and like to always try new recipes. Trying to learn more Spanish as my girlfriend is from Mexico and I do love the language.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would like to prepare some food for them as I have been cooking professionally for 30 years and still have a passion for cooking. My girlfriend and I are both super easy going and friendly and love to meet new people.
