CURRENT MISSION

To travel by recumbent tadpole tricycle from Ottawa to Vancouver.

ABOUT ME

Yo, so I've been on CS for a while but haven't used it much. Two years ago I did a "round-the-world" trip but mostly stayed in hostels and camped. I've always been a traveler and a couch surfer at heart. I've crossed Canada by bus probably a half dozen times, sleeping in hostels, on friends floors and a few other random places. I've spent the last 11 years fundraising for charity and its really shaped/opened up my view of world. I'm a bit of a scifi geek, I'm a novice poi spinner, and I am obsessed with a thing called a recumbent tadpole tricycle (Oh dear, I've devolved into writing lists of not-so-interesting facts) I fear planes, and I love ketchup the way most people love chocolate.
