Currently in a very small apartment. Will be difficult to host until we can set up our space appropriately.

Curious. Love gardening, hiking, cycling, birding, swimming, Bulgarian dancing. Former beekeeper. Former bon-vivant - but my recent intolerance to alcohol has changed that - though enjoying a new chapter and version of life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled around the Australian outback in a van on my own... just one of many adventures along the way on my journey.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to share my cool neighbourhood with others, going on back-alley adventures, or long bike rides ending strategically at the Jean-Talon market.

And I love learning new languages - maybe you can teach me some of yours?

(update, now living just outside the Plateau, near Mile-End)
