**Currently bikepacking throughout Scotland** I am a nurse, working in my home town of Thunder Bay! My passions are my dogs, and almost every outdoor sport there is. I love to combine these with travel and seeing new places! I have accepted plenty of help and roofs over my head over the years while travelling, and I look forward to returning the favour to others. Happy travels!

Hey! Things have changed a bit since we first started hosting. We now have a house full of dogs and not much space (6 Labradoodles (poodle / Labrador retriever mix). If you are cool with that, please by all means be in touch. Sometimes I can host in Nipigon where I stay for work one night per week and there are no animals there. Looking forward to hearing from you! CURRENT MISSION New people you meet can enrich your life and bring new perspectives. Mission is to meet people whom I never would have a chance to meet otherwise! ABOUT ME Optimist, positive outlook, I enjoy learning and speaking languages. Will never refuse an offer to go out for a run, bike, ski or gym! PHILOSOPHY Life is an adventure!

CURRENT MISSION I want to meet more professionals and people with a specific hobby. I love skill and talent ABOUT ME I was a huge user of couchsurfing back in the early 2000s, in Canada and South Korea I was close friends with then-ambassadors of the cities of Thunder Bay and Seoul. Using either this profile or the profile of housemates, I was a host of many people in Lyon, France in 2011-2012 and Brisbane, Australia in 2015-2016. 2021-2026 I own a house in my hometown of Thunder Bay Ontario and spent the last 5 years working nonstop and renovating it. I am beginning to be able to host however I am still quite busy these days. 2017-2021 I worked seasonally in forestry in British Columbia, Canada as a tree planter and firefighter. I lived out of my SUV, a life on the road. If you are young and athletic and coming to canada on a working holiday visa, talk to me about getting a job and living out of a tent and going on an adventure in the canadian wilderness. The only travels I have done in the past 5 years otherwise is to see family, a trip to Mexico, a trip to Spain, high on my bucket list is Peru. 2016: Tasmania, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Himachal Pradesh, Kashmir, Ladakh, Nepal, London, Scotland, Canada! 2015: Korea, Philippines, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, then began a working holiday visa in Australia. 2013-2014 I was a teacher in S Korea, lived 3 months in India, 3 months in Japan, also saw Nepal, Thailand, Malaysia. 2011-2012 I was an exchange student in Lyon, France. I didn't go to school much, I crossed the continent, from Morocco to Russia. I prefer spending time on different projects instead of having an overarching life trajectory. I balance my extroversion with hobbies requiring a lot of alone time. I used to enjoy improvising on any instrument but I'm rusty now. I enjoy painting and have plans to dedicate myself to it so long as the world doesn't end. I have a degree in Philosophy. My current favorite academic subjects are data mining, statistics and probability, chaos and game theory, complex systems, and linguistics. I love food and like to cook. I love a good documentary film. I speak french fluently and korean uncomfortably.
