I'm a 25 year old sustainable home designer/builder turned shepherd. Aspiring world vagabond.

I've spent the last few years living and working on a sheep farm in Ontario, as well as working as a Passive House designer at a local business that produces prefabricated super-insulated building envelopes.

I play a variety of stringed instruments and enjoy a good night at the campfire or pub - especially when there's pub trivia to play. I'm a fairly competent cook and love food in general.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Half of the sheep farm is on an island in Lake Ontario, so every year we barge ~5000 sheep across a 1km channel, in loads of 200.
It's quite the spectacle and people teasingly call us the Waupoos Island Express.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

Depending on preference I can bring beer, wine, food, do some cooking, help with construction/handyman tasks, etcetera.

I like to extend the low-impact "leave no trace" trail mentality to most aspects of my life - unless it's a good impact!
