Hey there! I'm Daniel. I live and work in Toronto, Canada. I've always been a very curious person, and I love learning new things about what's around me, from people to places, history, culture, and random facts. I put a high priority on being respectful and empathetic of others.

I currently work in genetic research for mental health in downtown Toronto, and when I'm not working I'm exploring and taking advantage of everything my city has to offer!

Salut ! Je suis Daniel. Je vis and je travaille à Toronto, Canada. Je suis tellement curieux et j'aime beaucoup apprendre de nouveaux choses à propos du monde — des gens, des lieux, les langues, l'histoire, la culture et des faits au hasard. J'essaie toujours de traiter les gens avec respect et empathie.

Je travaille dans la domaine de la recherche génétique pour un institut de la santé mentale à Toronto. Quand je ne suis pas au travail, je passe mon temps à explorer ma ville !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel and meet new people. More specifically, I love learning about and trying to understand the unique story contained within every person and every place I meet and visit. I want to uncover the often hidden connections between societies and cultures.

Interests

I love to talk about just about anything! I'm especially interested in music, film, food, urban issues, social justice, drag, cycling, environmentalism, board games, public health, art (especially contemporary), and photography.

J'aime parler de n'importe quoi ! En particulier, je m'interesse au film, à la musique, aux questions urbaines, à la santé publique, aux drag queens, au cyclisme, à l'écologie, à l'art contemporaine, et à la photographie.

Climbed an active volcano—and ate a hot dog I cooked over molten lava!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love conversation! I'm curious about many different subjects so I'd love to hear you talk about something that you're passionate about. I can help you practice your English or French, or offer travel tips for Canada or other places I've been. I'm not an expert chef but I love to cook and share a meal.

Je peux t'aider à pratiquer l'anglais ou le français, et je peux t'offre des conseils pratiques pour un voyage au Canada. Je ne suis pas un chef mais j'aimerais aussi cuisinier ensemble ou partager un repas !
