CURRENT MISSION

Discover the mystery of that surreal gap between waking and sleeping.

ABOUT ME

I'm based out of my hometown Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. However, my world travels, like my writing and projects in life, always define new territory. Some of the roles I've taken on include emceeing major music festivals, national tour manager for Nintendo, entertaining on cruise ships in the Caribbean, touring on the 2010 Olympic Torch Relay across Canada, and managing adventure travel tours in Asia and Central America. From Bangkok to Zapopan, a journal and my lactose-intolerant guitar, Norma, have always been at hand. My formal education consists of a Bachelor of Commerce in Marketing and Management at the University of Saskatchewan and ESC Rouen, France. Since then, it has been my decade of globe trotting and the people I've encountered through which I've found my real education and reason to smile in life.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too short for bad music.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It's always been a legit way to connect with people that you know will have open arms, great travel tips and the best way to explore their area.

Helping out friends here in Saskatoon host/show their couchsurfers around town and taking them for a nice coffee and or beer.
