I'm a community organizer and activist, and a half-heartedely reluctant urbanite from the prairies. I love seeing new places and meeting people and exploring landscapes, especially if there are big rocks and caves involved!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm relatively new to couchsurfing and excited about it! One of the best things about travelling is meeting new people. The more you get to know people, the more you get to know a place, and vice versa. And I love the spirit of helping each other out!

Interests

People, places, perspectives, planet(s). I love history, science and learning. I'm interested in philosophy, religion and ideologies. I'm passionate about discussing possible solutions to the myriad challenges before us. I like cooking too.

I'm passionate about working towards climate justice, and figuring out what that means.
