After a decade of random world adventures across 30 countries, I've decided to finally return home to good 'ol Canadia and try my hand at a "normal" life! Currently on weekends I guide tours around Vancouver/Victoria/Seattle/Whistler, and on weekdays I help take care of little ones at a friends forest daycare... all the while my goal is to continue research in the nonprofit sector and start my own nonprofit that helps people find charities they can be passionate about.

Personality-wise I'm pretty easy going. I'm fortunate to have had great experiences on CS both as a guest and as a host.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When abroad, I learned that I love meeting local people; I'd much rather spend the day chatting it up over a cup of tea with someone in a vastly different life from myself than take photos at some tourist destination. Like-wise, love hosting people and contributing to creating a great experience for them. I love personal growth!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

oh man, wildlife research in the amazon, sleeping in huts in the hill tribes of northern Thailand, hiking in the andes, standing at the top of a volcano watching lava swirl and explode inside, teaching little village kids english...

Teach, Learn, Share

Great conversations, new perspectives, entertainment, super low maintenance and I love to clean! Haha.
