I'm a poet, traveller, sailor, and lover of wilderness. I'm uncomplicated, open minded, gregarious, adventurous and unconventional.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Dancing to reggae on Labadi Beach in Accra under a full moon with the waves washing over my feet.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach cooking or English (I used to teach English in Japan). I would love to learn about another culture or language or place. I can share lots of information about the West Coast of Canada and the Pacific Northwest of the US.

What I Can Share with Hosts

The joy and adventure that comes from discovering a new pace and being able to see it through the eyes of someone who lives there.
