I'm a Canadian-American creative person of many talents on a top-secret mission to see sights and experience local flavours. Specifically, the flavours of drinks.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To boldly go where no me has gone before... and then write things down.

To make glorious new friends in glorious new places, or at least avoid making any mortal enemies while seeing the world.
