GET TO KNOW THEM

1. Favourite Toronto neighbourhood: Little India is a favourite because it reminds me of home in so many ways. I get to enjoy Gola Ganda and Paan as I window shop for Lenghas and then enjoy some amazing Chaat to end the day.
    
2. Most underrated spot in the city: stackt market—many tourists don’t know about this urban container market that always has fun events and experiences for all ages.
    
3. Describe Toronto to someone who's never visited: Toronto has an energy that visitors can easily tap into, but if you want to get a real feel for the city, you have to chat with locals who will share the best restaurants, bars and experiences because things change so often in the city!
   
   Toronto is filled with amazing food for all palates, which also helps keep my curiosity and constant need to experience new things satisfied.
