Hi. I moved to Montreal just over a year ago. I'm from Scotland but have also lived in a few other countries before coming to Canada, as well as doing a bit of travelling in between. Before I moved to Montreal everyone told me that this city is world renowned for its diverse and vibrant culture, but the truth is I'm only here for the Poutine. ;-)

I enjoy the usual stuff that most people do; concerts, pubs, comedy, visiting new places, having adventures, etc.. I love a good debate, even if I lose and end up coming around to the other persons point of view.

Since moving to Montreal I've been spending time learning French. I'm still at a basic level but taking classes every week in an effort to improve. I also spent a lot of time this summer exploring Quebec on my motorbike and discovered some really beautiful little towns. There's still a lot of this city and Canadian/Québécois culture I've yet to discover, so I'd love to hear your suggestions for things to see and do.

Some things I want to do in the future are; ride my motorbike from Canada to Argentina, go diving with whales in Antarctica, learn to sail, but for now I'm content getting to know Canada and exploring Montreal.

Imaginary arguments I'd have with people I'm never going to meet.

You think we'd find each other interesting.
