CURRENT MISSION Exploring, learning, stopping to smell the roses, and saving a few trees. ABOUT ME After finishing my first leg of University, I headed to Europe with my best-friend, backpacking and WWOOFing, mostly in Italy and France for half a year. The experience of working on organic farms galvanized my passion for food in all its facets: cooking, growing, and understanding where it comes from and how it impacts our communities. I'm also a deep admirer of all forests and for this reason I will find myself back in school this fall enrolled at the University of Toronto in the Master of Forest Conservation program. I can't get enough of traveling in any form, and meeting new people from a neighbouring town or half-way around the world is the great reward of exploring. PHILOSOPHY I can only go disconnected from the land for short periods without losing my super powers.

我为什么使用Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I've been sleeping on couches, futons, roommates beds etc. since I joined in 2008. These countries include Italy, France, Germany, England, Belgium. I'll finally be getting a place of my own in the fall in Toronto with a fellow couchsurfer where we will host as often as our busy schedules allow. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Every experience has been amazing so it's hard to play favourites. Just being welcomed into a stranger's home and instantly forgetting that they are a stranger is an incredible feeling.
音乐、电影与书籍
I read mostly non-fiction, generally historical and ecological topics, but I love a good Richler or Mowat. Everyone should read Michael Pollan's "Omnivore's Dilemma" and "In Defense of Food". I like a good film, so Hollywood has its work cut out for it. As for music, give me some good ol'fashioned guitar, maybe a banjo, you can never go wrong with the fiddle, and slap together some rhythm, and we're grooving.
我做过的一件令人惊叹的事
Riding fresh powder in the high Andes backcountry of Chile.
教学、学习、分享
I love to learn about cooking, especially when in foreign countries. For others, I can be informative on Canadian history, if of course there's anyone who actually wants to learn such an obscure history. There is also a lot of great Canadian music that I can introduce to those interested.
我的兴趣
I love to play hackey sack when just hanging out. I also play hockey, snowboard, guitar and drums and so I am always looking for others to jam with along the way. Just being outdoors is good enough for me, any type of weather. I'm a camping enthusiast, my home turf being the backcountry woods and lakes of Northern Ontario, Canada. I am also interested in permaculture and sustainable organic farming. With this also comes my passion for ecology and history and how cultures use and manipulate their landscapes (and forests).
