I grew up near Toronto, and just graduated from university in Montreal. I fell in love with Montreal while I was there, and the perspective I got from living in a foreign place. I fell in love with exploring the city, climbing the mountain year round, walking through the cobblestoned and graffiti'd streets, and watching the sun rise.

I like:
- meeting people
- reading/creative writing
- a city I can explore by foot
- cafes
- a good conversation
- studying world religions (specifically Shintoism, Buddhism, etc)
- sushi

Teach, Learn, Share
