About Me

ABOUT ME (June 2025 ... updating after years of not logging in!)

Canadian. Have lived in Korea and Bahrain.
Now living and working in Bangkok, Thailand.

Enjoy learning new languages, making beer and travelling any chance I get!

My bike is my main mode of transportation, roller blades when I'm not in a hurry, and the bus before the subway if it's not rush hour.

If you like craft beer I would love to take you out to visit some interesting local craft beer spots.
I used to keep a blog about the craft beer scene when I lived in South Korea. - www.explorecraftbeer.wordpress.com

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined CouchSurfing over a decade ago after hearing story after story from my friends who were using this site since before it was barely off the ground. It's a great community space and I hope to continue to be more involved!

Interests

Hiking, going to the beach, movies, random day trips, camping and learning about new languages and cultures.

I home-brew and if you're interested in craft beer culture we'll have lots to chat about! www.explorecraftbeer.wordpress.com

Currently, I am learning the Thai language and I spend most of my spare time (trying to) focusing on that. Also, as a proud Canadian, I do hope to become more fluent in French someday but my proficiency has fallen drastically since learning Korean and Thai.
