CURRENT MISSION; Providing a relaxing place for CS folk to crash. Check http://www.visitcalgary.com/ for ideas! PLEASE NOTE: 1) We love to Host, but we will NOT host you if you have an empty profile. Please fill in some details, or at least send us a link to a recent social media profile (Facebook, AirBnB, etc) Couchsurfing/hosting is a matter of trust, and it makes it a lot easier to trust someone if they appear to be a 'real' person. 2) We prefer to not accept 'last minute' requests, unless you are stranded due to unforeseen issues (ie - vehicle broken down). Please book at least a week in advance, to give us time to prepare for hosting.
Interested in Adventure Sports

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING Starting a new life in Calgary, AB and we plan to start Surfing. In past years we've been Hosts and volunteer Ambassadors (retired) for CouchSurfing in Regina, SK. Hope to do some more Hosting in Calgary as we get settled. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE: Since joining CS we've hosted 100's of people from all over. We've managed to be guests enough times to make us better hosts. So far the CS experiences have been fantastic, with the occasional funny story.
Music, Movies, and Books
Books/Movies: Life of Pi, Snowcrash, LOTR, FireFly and all sorts of fantasy/sci-fi. Not so much into reality stuff. Music: Everything is good, but I shy away from country music. I love Massive Attack, Johnny Cash, Mortal, NIN, Lamb, Portishead, Infected Mushroom, Econoline Crush, and many more...
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Most amazing thing I've seen was being in a canoe on a perfectly calm lake when the Northern Lights exploded on the mirror of the lake. It was like drowning in beauty. (I got a tattoo of this!)
