I'm a Canadian living and or travelling (depending on when you read this) with my Aussie partner Simon. We both enjoy spending time with people and also need our quiet alone time.

PHILOSOPHY

Love variety, novelty, and new experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate by hosting fellow couch surfers and surfing on other's couches!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I did a lot of hosting in 2011-12, and couchsurfed my way through a road trip across North America. More recently (2015-early 2016) Simon and I have been hosting surfers in our Sydney apartment. We went on a world trip for over a year, and am back in Sydney for 2017.
