CURRENT MISSION

To do the Toronto to Montreal bike tour ... want to join me?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people who like travel and adventure.

** Note: I don't add friends on here that I've never met in person **

Interests

I like concerts, playing piano, long-distance biking, world music concerts, and volunteering. And dancing - salsa, swing and bollywood.

I really like meeting other travellers and learning about other cultures, places and languages.

I like to look for bike-friendly cities and I want to do some bike tours abroad.

I eat mostly plant-based, but I'm not vegan. I like trying out new vegan and raw food recipes. I cheat a lot though - my weakness is ice cream.

Other interests: swimming, beach volleyball, boating, skiing and reading

Movies: I'm kind of behind on movies - I don't really go that often, but I enjoy action movies, musicals, comedies, movies about dancing and ones that make you think. Some of my favourites are Blood Diamond, Forrest Gump, The Day after Tomorrow, A Beautiful Mind and Strictly Ballroom.
