Hi! I'm Brian, I currently live half the year in Jasper National Park. Unfortunately, I live in shared staff accommodation so I can't really host people unless it's exceptional circumstances. But if you are coming to visit and you're looking for a guide, hiking partner, dinner companion or for extra points, a tennis partner, then please get in touch!

About me: I work for Parks Canada and manage one of the campgrounds in Jasper. Unfortunately, no, I can't let couchsurfers stay there for free. I've had working holiday visas in France, Germany, Italy and Mexico. I'm functionally fluent and love to practice these languages. But you're probably here to practice English, which is great as well!

I love hiking, all sports, board games, boating on the lakes and meeting people.

Please get in touch if you'd like to know more!

PHILOSOPHY

All you can take with you, is that which you've given away.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I generally only have the ability to do meet-ups seeing as I run a campground. Allowing couch-surfers to stay for free wouldn't be fair to my guests. But if I have time I'd love to show you around Jasper, and hopefully set you up with some adventures to do in the area if I can't join you.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been really fortunate with the csers I have met so far, and I've also had some terrific hosts!

Music, Movies, and Books

60's - 90's. My music taste has been described as "wedding music." Stuff like Skrillex makes me physically ill.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Getting slapped in the face by a 70 year-old Italian man named Gofreddo. It's a long story, but in the end, I think Gofreddo had it right.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to get slapped by a 70 year old Italian man named Gofreddo. Or how to prevent a Finnish singer from singing every time there is a pause in the conversation. I teach very specific things.

I can share friendship. Is there anything better?

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd love to make you dinner! Or breakfast? I make world-famous crepes. World-famous because they have been eaten by people from all over the world. That counts right?
