CURRENT MISSION To always go further. Learn new things, meet new people, and see new places. Also working to revolutionize the ethical consumer movement. ABOUT ME Born in Toronto, grew up just outside Montréal and have now lived mostly in Ottawa for the past 14 years. My greatest travels have been 3-month internships in both Mali and Nepal, hitchhiking the entire length of Canada, driving 13,000km across the USA, some backpacking through Bangladesh, Nepal and India, and finally a backpacking/hitchhiking trip through Bulgaria, Turkey, Netherlands and Morocco last summer (including a few flights too of course!). In 2015 I worked for 6 months with a small NGO in Paynesville, Liberia where I worked with local entrepreneurs on a variety of cool projects. I've worked for the Canadian government, co-founded a social enterprise that makes ethical consumerism easier for everyone, and ultimately transitioning into working in data/tech which brought me to San Francisco.

我为什么使用Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I started off surfing around Quebec a while back, then in the summer of 2013 I CouchSurfed Western Canada, and then in Eastern Canada the next summer. In the winter of 2014-15 I couchsurfed with 3 friends on a roadtrip for 3 weeks across the US: Ottawa->Denver->San Francisco->LA->Las Vegas->New Orleans->NYC. Finally, on my way to Liberia I had a 3 week stopover in Europe so I surfed with hosts in Belgium, Bulgaria, Turkey, Netherlands and Morocco. All AMAZING experiences so far!
音乐、电影与书籍
Music: I've expanded my taste quite a bit over the past few years! I used to listen to mostly classic rock (Floyd, Zeppelin, Beatles, Supertramp, Dylan, Young) but now I'll enjoy just about anything other than country. Folk, blues, jazz, reggae and hip hop can all be great at times! Through my travels I've come to hear and enjoy quite a bit of music out of India and West Africa too.
我做过的一件令人惊叹的事
I can proudly say I've hitchhiked across the entire length of Canada! (Albeit in 2 separate trips, and not counting Newfoundland (yet!))! I've also tried freight train hopping, and though it was incredibly exciting and thrilling to do, was only partially successful (ask me about it sometime!)
教学、学习、分享
I am bilingual in English and French and know Spanish reasonably well if any of those help you. I also study International Development and love to talk about and share opinions on issues like global poverty, social entrepreneurship and development! If you're interested in hitchhiking I'd be happy to share all the tips I've gathered with you too.
