关于我
I am easy going. Love to listen to people's stories, learn people's culture and heritage. I also like to discuss ideas and will likely play devil's advocate just for sake of argument in the name of progress.
A new hobby of mine has been Swing Dancing (Lindy Hop, Blues, Balboa). A goal I set for myself is to go dancing in every new place I visit. I would also love to learn new dances, especially traditional dances.
I was born and raised in the Province of Quebec, Canada having lived in Sherbrooke and the suburbs of Montreal.
I currently live in Montreal. Before I lived in Kingston, Ontario, for school where I studied Urban Planning.
The first time I left the continent of North America was to go to India where I had the opportunity to work on a Heritage project in Pune. I then traveled Mumbai, Goa, Chenai, Pondicherry, Agra, Jaipur, and Delhi. Before this I had the opportunity to travel Canada and the United States.

FOOD! I love to explore new places via my belly :)
我为什么加入 Couchsurfing
I have yet to fully experience couch surfing. I have experienced hosting people at my girlfriend's house. The experience was enriching and a lot of fun. It felt as though I got to travel to this individual's place of living without stepping foot outside my own city.
Whenever my friends and family visit Montreal, I absolutely love giving them a tour. Having studied Urban Planning in Montreal and being passionate about learning the stories of cities, touring cities is something I love.
兴趣
Swing dancing, particularly Balboa as well as Lindy Hop and Blues. A goal of mine is to dance in all new places I explore. I am new at dancing in general but love to learn. I also want to learn traditional dances whenever possible.
Discussing histories, particularly urban histories trying to understand cities and the cultures which have shaped them and influenced its existence. I love to explore cities and loiter in public spaces. Learning people's favourite spots whether it's a little restaurant, café, park bench, viewpoint etc. There is no better way to learn about a city than from someone who lives and loves their city.
I love food. Sweet, salty and spicy. Veg and non-veg. Healthy and not so healthy. I love learning about places and cultures via food. Not a very good cook but love to learn. I am a great help in the kitchen. The least I can do is the dishes!
I can also be introverted at times, enjoying my alone time, loitering, wandering, reading, eating.
音乐、电影和书籍
I love all types of musing. Lately it has been big band swing music for obvious reasons (I love dancing!). I also love discovering new bands, local music scenes, new styles. I am awful at remembering names and lyrics. It's as though every time I hear a song it is for the first time.
Movies: Casablanca, Pulp Fiction, Darjeeling Express, Amélie Poulin ...to name a few. I love movies... Maybe even more than books!
Only recently started reading regularly for pleasure. I look forward to hearing your favourite books and authors and sharing mine.
我做过的一件不可思议的事情
Realized some childhood dreams by buying a boat, learning to fly, starting a landscaping business (working outside with nature).
教,学,和分享
I love teaching what I know about cities, histories, and the basic step in swing dances!
I really want to learn what people think about their city, their histories.
Please teach me how to cook your favourite recipes!
I think we can share good times through discussions, explorations, and spontaneous acts of craziness (while remaining respectful)
我可以与沙发主分享些什么
I would love to share my knowledge of Canada, particularly Montreal, teach the basic steps to Swing! And discuss with my new friends about what they love about where they live.
