Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’d like to make my experiences in other countries as realistic as possible and I think staying with a local is an effective way to do so. Furthermore, it’s a great way to make international friends that have had cultural experiences I never will.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music : I can appreciate any genre. I did have to study quite a few of them and I do play a few instruments so I’m open to new sounds, concepts and artists.

Movies: If I doesn’t make me think, question things or laugh it’s not for me.

Books: If it is eye-opening, moral-shifting, life-reassessing or in anyway provokes thought, I’ll read it to make my own judgement.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Playing for a National League basketball team

Teach, Learn, Share

In knowing that I’ll never learn everything I’m always happy to learn something.
If you think I’m good enough at it I’ll happily teach it.

Interesting, open-minded conversations/ perspectives (I read a lot!)
Decent cooking/ hearty attempts to cook
