About Me
ABOUT ME
I value real communication, and am an excellent listener, who is interested in living life fully. I am open to learn and grow from others and my experiences and to help others to do the same.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
More than just a free place to sleep, Couch surfing is a way to connect and share with other human beings on this sometimes absurd, sometimes difficult and often inspiring journey of life.
Interests
I love music- singing classical and jazz, as well as home-improvement projects, good food and drink. I work as a professional massage therapist and classical singer, who does solo and choral music, as well as teaching singing. One favorite hobby of mine is improv dancing- a form called contact improvisation, which I practice regularly here, at my home in Montreal.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I once spent three months living together with fourteen other young folk, doing a program that was designed to help us discover the meaning of living in community, and deepen our self-awareness, as well as awareness about the world around us, socially, politically, and culturally. I have also got to be a solo classical singer with orchestra behind me a number of times, and it is quite a thrilling experience. My immediate professional life-goal is to develop a practice of massage therapy (I practice swedish massage, after doing my training at a Montreal massage therapy school Kineconcept a year ago), and to make a living doing both work as a massage therapist and as a classical singer and teacher, and possibly teaching improv dance at a later point as well!,... Wooo hoooo!!!!
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach singing; I mostly do classical singing for a living. I would like to learn new massage techniques. I am also a professional massage therapist part-time.
