Gurpreet Kambo, Contributor Gurpreet was raised in Surrey, BC. He is an avid traveller, writer and (some would say) ‘professional student’ who can’t quite figure out what single thing he’s most passionate about…because there’s too many of them! His writing often focuses on culture (pop and otherwise) and social and political issues. He believes Surrey is a far underrated city, and hopes to help you recognize this through his writing.
