I grew up in rural Vermont (USA) and then moved to Montréal (Québec) to study urban planning. I enjoy being outside, walking around cities, observing people, planning adventures and drawing. I have a diversity of work experiences: trail crew leader, community music festival organizer, camp counselor, urban farmer. In urban planning I focused mainly on how suburbs could be adapted to an older population.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Its a great way to connect with people. I have only surfed, however when I move back to Montréal I will be able to start hosting people.
Music, Movies, and Books
I love to danse to any kind of music. My dad plays traditional fiddle and I have learned a bit, but I am slightly tone deaf I think. Rather, I choose to express my creativity through drawing. I don't listen to any particular band, however I especially enjoy Rhythm and Blues, Soul and Funk. In Montréal there is this great event every tuesday at "Les Boboards" on Saint-Laurent intersection with Maryanne. Check out this link for more information and MAKE SURE TO GO! AMAZING MUSIC! (Improv funk) http://loungeurbain.com/evenement/les-mardis-kalmunity-live-organic-improv-aux-bobards/ As for visual artists, I really admire Frida Khalo's work, as well as Dali, Van Gogh, Nikkie de Ste Phalle. I look forward to seeing as many museums as possible while I am in Europe.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Well- I've swam in bioluminescent waters. It was like being Peter Pan and/or having magical powers!
Teach, Learn, Share
I would like to learn more about your past trips! Tell me what was easy, was hard, was worth doing and seeing! I have traveled by bike, bus and plane. I have done a couple backpacking and canoe trips. I am more than glad to help you plan your next trip!
What I Can Share With Hosts
I can tell you more about Québec and Vermont, in the Northeast (relatively) of the big continent called America. I can cook, sing, giggle, tell you stories, help you clean the house and teach you more about urban planning!
My Interests
Colors, mountains, cooking, telling jokes, goofing around
