About Me

CURRENT MISSION: Epic sabbatical year!

Connect, Laugh, Smile, and Learn

ABOUT ME

We're down to earth guys and like keeping fit: yoga, some weights, a hike or a long walk always feels nice. I'm a closeted board game geek: Scrabble, Boggle, Settlers of Catan, Tri-ominos, crib, etc.

We live in rural northern Canada on an amazing acreage. We're both very handy: complete reno our house, built a deck, built a garden, cold cellar, car maintenance, firewood hunting, etc.

Non-smokers. We enjoy most alcoholic drinks, but not many. My nose is sensitive to artificially scented air freshers, insense, and many perfumes (your limited use of these is appreciated).

From my Vancouver days, Check out a google MAP I made with many spots of interest you may enjoy, its "MY WEBSITE" just to the left!!

PHILOSOPHY

Laughing at myself and life. This is all really just a big game and we mind as well have as much fun as we can and make as many other people's lives a better experience for them as well. Smiling is important!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted people a few times in Canada and surfed around Australia in 2012. Got to host cycling road-tripping couple in our home during a multi-day rainstorm. We're on an epic year ahead travelling the globe.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm always grateful of a friend's couch when I travel. Looking forward to using couchsurfing to connect and make new friends.
My first six months surfing in Australia I met many great people and their couches. I broadened my experiences from this website with Activities(bike tours, road trips, and travel advice). It keeps getting better and better! Yes, this site now charges a few pennies, but I'm looking forward to giving in another shot!
