I'm getting ready to do something amazing. I haven't had the opportunity to travel much and haven't left Canada since the nineties, but I'm about to spend two months travelling about in the US and I'm incredibly excited.

I love children and animals and I make handmade lace in my spare time. I'm part of a small publishing collective that prints political and social justice themed comic books and graphic novels.

I'm very much an ambivert; I am happy with parties but also with chill hangouts.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My favourite part of being somewhere new is seeing and experiencing what life is really like in that place. I'm interested in building community and making connections to people and doing so as a customer rather than a guest would make that much harder.
