CURRENT MISSION

"Mission" might be a bit strong, but generally I'm just looking to welcome good people into my life.

ABOUT ME

My perfect world is full of long sunny bike rides, experimental vegetarian cooking, strong coffee and foreign movies. I love to hike, dance and be outside, but I'm also inclined toward the occasional lengthy, philosophical, elbow-patch discussion (especially when there is good wine involved!).

At the end of the day, I'm just looking to connect with people and experience a little bit of the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING/
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In 2014, I had the pleasure of couchsurfing across Europe. I'd hosted once or twice before, but never surfed. It was such a great experience and completely revolutionized the way I travel. My current living situation doesn't allow for hosting, but if you're passing through Vancouver, give me a shout! I'd love to show you around. As a host or a surfer, I'm always up for some cheap eats, good music, or a fancy coffee.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've gotten pretty good at experimental vegetarian cook-offs lately. Would love to share my "secrets," or just some of the grub, if you want to skip the lesson.

Also, I can rant about social psychology for ages, if that interests you.
