Hello!
I am currently an outdoor educator on my way from Nelson BC to Smithers to start a new job. I work with neurodiverse youth in an outdoor setting, teaching outdoor adventure (paddling, hiking, biking skiing...) and designing and teaching climate change education that integrates local school curriculum into community project based learning modules. .

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

In my time in South America I stayed with so many kind and amazing people who welcomed me into their homes with full hearts. For me this was so different then the interactions I have had with strangers growing up in Canada but something I don’t want to give up on in my time back in Canada.

兴趣

Outside of my working passion, I enjoy active adventuring. I love climbing, mountaineering, flat water and whitewater canoeing, backcountry skiing, biking and running. I love getting creative with my cooking, learning about sustainable food systems and am interested in learning more about social justice and systems change. I grew up in a small mountain town which shaped my idea of community, care and opportunity. I value open and interesting conversation, community cooked meals, cards and board games . In university I studied biology and environmental studies. I am extremely interested in ecology, conservation and forestry and have experience working in a biology research context.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

The past few summers I have been a part of creating an education project called World Bound which is a series of expeditions for youth in different regions of the world based on five pillars for climate change education: Integrating Climate Change Principles and Perspectives, Exploring Real-world Environments, Volunteering in Communities, Practicing Life Skills and Sustaining Climate Action. I have led 24 day 700km trips down the Yukon river focused on place based climate change education and learning from remote communities. This July I took World Bound to Ecuador and leading a 24 day trip in partnership with a series of local tourism operators and communities
