Hello! I'm a writer and podcaster (Story Untold) currently completing a Master's degree in Creative Nonfiction and living in beautiful Victoria, British Columbia. Now that I've started travelling, I can't really stop.

I love to meet new people and get to know a place by the people who live there, and Couchsurfing is a wonderful means of doing that. I'm not currently able to host myself, but I look forward to the day of being able to do so.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've stayed in plenty of hostels and campsites, but too often, I've missed out on meeting people in the cities I've been to. I'd like to change that.

Interests

Music, sports, movies, pop culture, politics, you name it. I'd like to think we could find something to talk about easily enough.

I'm a diehard basketball fan, so if you are, too, then we're already friends in my book.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In the summer of 2016, I rode a bicycle across Canada to raise funds for mental health initiatives. I've also slept in a 16-bed hostel dorm where nobody snored.
