I'm on a search for who I am and what drives me. I was taught at a young age to treat others fairly and have respect for everyone. Life is short and I want to spend it making good connections with people and be able to leave a positive influence on those around me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I heard about couch surfing from a friend but was always very skeptical of it. It takes a lot of trust to allow someone you've never met into your home. I hope to be able to join this community and make positive connections with all of those who I come in contact with. I am planning a vacation Europe and would like to see how the locals live and hopefully get introduced to some hidden gems!

Interests

Music is my passion. I play keyboards, violin and guitar and have performed in many different symphonies and bands. I also love religion and psychology. To learn and discover what drives people to do what they do. How does one find direction and meaning in their life? What are the most important things in your life? I would love to talk about it!

Music, Movies, and Books

My love of music includes many different genres and depending on the mood I'm in can range from classic composers such as Fredric Chopin, Claude Debussy to modern artists such as Andrew Bird, Cut Copy, The Who, Frank Sinatra. Even though I'm a novice on the topics I love listening to books on physics, science and evolution from authors such as Michio Kaku, Lawrence Krauss and Bill Nye!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I made friends with a Cheetah in Wellington, NZ (see profile picture)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share music with others. If you have any instruments in your home I would love to play some tunes for you! I also enjoy talking about the human psyche and existential topics. I love good conversations and learning about different cultures and hopefully I can teach you about my culture and sub-culture to provide you with new perspectives!
