CURRENT MISSION

After driving across the country with my entire life packed up in my car, I've been living in Calgary for 4.5 years now where I started a new career, got to know my estranged uncle, built a new community, and snowboarded as much as possible!

ABOUT ME

People are usually surprised when they discover I consider myself an introvert. But I have a very healthy sense of curiosity, adventure, and spontaneity that helps balance off too much introvertness so that life never gets boring.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I like to meet new people and return the favour of people helping me out when I couch surfed my way across Canada.

MY LIFE
After college, I spent some time living overseas in Iceland for 1 and 1/2 years. Since returning to my home town of Newmarket Ontario in 2001, I have been working as a self employed entrepreneur (that just means I can book off time when ever I want) as a Registered Massage Therapist. After running my own clinic for 13 years, I sold it, downsized my life to fit in my car, and now live beside the *B*E*A*U*T*I*F*U*L* Canadian Rockies in the sunny city of Calgary.
