ABOUT ME

Hm. I've been a student so far, taking a semester off on two occasions to travel. I've recently decided to put my studies on hold in order to go live on a commune in Virginia for a while. I hope to learn a lot while I'm there. I studied in anthropology and biology, thought it fascinating, but I figure school can wait.

PHILOSOPHY

temptation-risk-euphoria-agony-melancholy-inspiration-more risk-hopefully love and lots of it-moments of ecstasy-more pain-perhaps balance and ephemeral serenity

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would be more than glad to introduce you to friends and show you around so you can really get the Montreal vibe.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had few opportunities to host, although I've had some great, i mean GREAT experiences surfing. Hopefully, I'll catch up on the hosting when my living arrangements are more ideal.

Interests

I enjoy canoe trips and hiking, bonfires, sleepless nights, green tea, camping, evolution, travel stories and plans, music, different cultures, difference, literature, how and what people think and why they think that way.

Music, Movies, and Books

π, and then there are the classics, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Monty Python, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid...
Music : radiohead, bob dylan, philip glass, leonard cohen, paul simon, nina simone, velvet underground, manu chao, damien rice, buena vista social club, morcheeba, chopin...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing things are the catharses within. Landscapes, extraordinary circumstances and persons can act as triggers, no more.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know how to skate(forward motion only), ride a bicycle without using my hands, make sushi, cook for someone vegan, swim, change a diaper, whistle, sow, make mint tea, light a one-match fire, do the Heimlich manoeuvre, play fur elise on the piano and blow smoke rings.
I've yet to learn how to whistle and hum at the same time, play the harmonica, brake while on skates, make a fire without matches or a lighter, play the bongos, dance, jam, meditate properly...
