About Me

Note:
I'm not able to have guests stay at my house at the moment, but I am happy to give advice/tips, meet up, or even go on an adventure in Victoria with you.

I love the outdoors, especially the snow!

My favourite things to do are backcountry skiing/ski mountaineering during winter, and rock climbing/hiking during summer. Mountain biking and kayaking are also fun! And of course, taking photos and making short films on adventures.

I play the bass guitar (albeit not very well).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd love to meet up with more people to go on adventures with on my travels both home and abroad. And to also get to know people from different cultures and backgrounds.
