I am a composer and researcher in the field of classical music. Originally from Vancouver, but have been living in Berlin for the last six years. I came here to do a master‘s degree in music composition and I love it here.

Other parts of Canada I’ve lived in are Montreal and Vancouver Island.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet interesting people, and to discover places through the people who live in them.

Interests

Art, travel, food, walking, talking, taking pictures. I spend a lot of time writing music, playing the piano, and reading old music theory books. I love to go to cafés, parks, restaurants, concerts and the cinema.
