Spotter since 2017
About me
Montreal-born entrepreneur and founder of the e-health startup Gettreated.co, I made my home in Yerevan in 2011 with my wife and daughter.
Why Yerevan
Yerevan is an extremely well thought-out, centralised, and walkable city. Locals are warm and friendly, and the city's charm is much more than skin-deep. Peep into any courtyard to discover centuries-worth of history, traditions, and culture.
I also can't complain about the spectacular views on Mount Ararat.

"English Park" is Yerevan's oldest purposely-designed public park. I've been going there for years because it's surprisingly private despite being central.
