I love experiencing a place through the eyes of the people I meet - the "best" falafel place in the city, that quiet corner in the fort, the ice cream place by the bridge. I've surfed a lot of couches and hosted wonderful people through CS, and I enjoy the sense of community with fellow travellers.

I like ambient electronic, indie, electro pop, classical, jazz, post-rock I like movies by Xavier Dolan, Deepa Mehta and Krzysztof Kieślowski. Oscar Wilde, Vikram Seth, Arundhati Roy, Theodore Dreiser, Victor Hugo, Sinclair Lewis and Dumas are some of my favourite authors.
