CURRENT MISSION

To grow myself, and grow my community by giving back to it.

ABOUT ME

I grew up in a rural community outside of Victoria, BC. I have a huge passion for new experiences, becoming involved and integrated into new cultures, and living life!
I am a bicycle frame builder, and work during the day as a welder/fabricator.

I speak English, poor French, and some Spanish.

PHILOSOPHY

I feel that we can watch and learn from our mistakes, and grow through having fun and pushing through our boundaries.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate in CS by hosting, and by creating amazing, memorable experiences for those who choose to host me.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couch-surfed in Central America, and in Eastern Europe. It has always ended up in an incredible experience. I love being able to participate in a local culture by staying with folks who live there. Whenever I can I try to find local volunteer organizations to connect with.

Interests

I love the ocean, bikes, camping, singing, music, mountains, animals, people, good food, and bad jokes.

I love bicycle touring, and have been to many different countries on a bike.
I love mountain biking, and race whenever possible while at home.
