Heyoo, I'm Jeff, Jeffo, Jeffosaurus Rex, whatever fun nickname you want to give me - please do! And I will reciprocate.

Currently have my account paused as I’m not traveling but if you feel like we should connect, shoot me a message on Instagram @jeffosaurus.rex

I'm a student of life and love digging into the depth of myself and others.

I love curiosity and creativity.

I love playing guitar and having sing alongs with friends. I love even more when we make up songs on the spot.

I love improv and often host drop in events for people to try.

I love any adventure/activity in nature - snowboarding, kayaking, paddle boarding, hiking, surfing.

I've hosted a few podcasts on youtube

(1) a travel edition called "Vicarious Diaries" where I give people the opportunity to share their journeys around the globe

(2) a life edition called, "Your Favourite Life" where I give people the opportunity to discuss growth and transformation

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Originally hopped on couchsurfing while I backpacked Europe for 4 months and felt like it was the most authentic way to travel. I loved getting off the beaten path, sharing culture and adventures together.

My next adventure will be a drive across the USA as I make my way to Vancouver B.C where I will spend the winter with the mountains and lots of snowboarding. I'd love to connect with a few locals along the way and create some fleeting yet memorable moments together even if it's just a simple yet soothing conversation together with some tea.
