Born and raised in Toronto, Canada. I spent a good chunk of my 20's as a digital nomad, building websites on my laptop while exploring places, cultures and peoples around the world.

Things have settled a bit since then but I still love to explore whenever I get the chance.

Gardening is my yin and cycling is my yang. Love getting into nature. Gratitude is the attitude.

After loosing my mother in 2020 I began volunteering as a bereavement support group facilitator.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Since joining in 2008 I've had nothing but great experiences, both in hosting and being hosted. Couchsurfing has opened up my eyes and heart to a world that cares, is trustworthy and welcoming.

Interests

I love gardening. I've become an obsessed cacti cultivator the past few years. Biking is my other main hobby. I do a lot of road biking as well as gravel biking. I really enjoy snowboarding but don't get out so often anymore.

I love cooking as well as taking on DIY projects, from mechanical maintenance and repairs to furniture fabrication and more.
