ABOUT ME

I am an artist working and living in Calgary Canada. I used to cross country sky race, as well as race kayaks and canoes, but now I just leisurely do sports. I work with an artist collective based in Calgary called the Arbour Lake Sghool, where several of our projects are related to the suburban environment in North America. I am a very relaxed, patient, easy going person, but I like to throw a lot of energy into things, sometimes to my detriment at the last minute.

PHILOSOPHY

Not to make too big a deal out of things I guess.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couch surfed in Saskatchewan for 1 week, and it was an amazing time, hanging out on a farm with a family. Couch surfed in Turino in Italy for a few days as well and find it a great way to travel and experience the area in a more intimate fashion.
