I am an art teacher and an artist.

I've spent many years living abroad and travelling around the world.

I love food and cooking.

I always enjoy going to a good concert or grabbing a beer with interesting people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to host other travellers and would love to show them around the city of Montreal that I love so much!

We prefer to host someone for more than just a night so we can get to know them better.

Interests

Currently working on a series about endangered animals in the form of watercolour paintings and murals.
Currently teaching at a high school part time.
