Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Currently room on Broome street, New York.
Prefer to spend my pocket money on books, films, wine
and presents for my family so need another option.
An Australian friend advised me on Couchsurfing.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music. Classical, Judy Garland, Leonard Cohen and Amy Winehouse
and others Pearl Jam etc. etc.
Movies : My Architect, Man on Wire, Things People do and last film I
saw Lion. Many, many more.
Books : Just bought Jonathan Safran Foer's "I am Here".
Will be my reference book for many months to come.
Brought one book over to America : Anne Michaels' "Fugitive Pieces".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One day while I was teaching English and basic French in Moscow,
came upon information on an impending concert by Leonard Cohen.
So I flew out to Cardiff, Wales - United Kingdom - Europe and back
to Moscow. Sometimes we make the right choices.

Teach, Learn, Share

Much to learn.
Always more to learn
and then share some.

What I Can Share with Hosts

An incredible place, quite isolated but near a 13th century village.
Only thing is I will be in New York till end of May so any visit/stay
will have to wait my return.
