Travelled the world for a year with just a small backpack. Been in the Servace travel group, L'Arche and YWAM. Lived in Kenya for a year, been to Uganda for volunteer work a couple times. I am a Christian but not traditional. Interested in off grid alternative housing... Tiny Homes (micro homes) Run a free lunch program in Tofino, meet lots of travelers here.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to have a way to connect with travelers, particularily international ones and to host them at my place.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Started and led a Christian community home with free lodging and meals.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to learn how other people see the meaning in life and this planet, especially travelers. We meet a lot of different cultures, religions and can look at them from a context that is bigger than most people have.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have some knowledge and skills. I can fix and build stuff. I am been trusted with properties, homes, other stuff and most importantly with other people, even vulnerable people. (handicapped, kids, elders)
