I grew up in a small town outside of Montreal in Quebec, but I have been living in various cities across Canada for many years now. I'm a pretty well-traveled and independent person. I love photography, fine art, and design. I like to keep informed about current world events, and think of myself as a citizen of the globe. I keep active doing yoga and exploring with my camera. I like singing and playing guitar and making healthy food.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I often travel alone and this site seems among the best options for meeting generous and friendly locals! I am interested in meeting people of various cultures and life experiences.

Interests

photography, film, art, music, literature, culture, philosophy, world Peace....

Music, Movies, and Books

Lately I love short fiction--the master Anton Chekhov of course, and more modern American writers like John Cheever and Eudora Weltey.
As for movies, I can watch almost anything, but I found a great site for independent film called Fandor. I'm a fan of good cinematography and movies that make me feel and think.
I love music and listen to a lot of different genres.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived at a Tibetan Buddhist monastery for two years in my 20s. I did a lot of meditation and learned how to cook vegetarian food!
