CURRENT MISSION

Learn, travel, and meet interesting people

ABOUT ME

I currently work as a programmer in SF, but I try to spend a lot of time climbing, traveling, and hanging out with friends. I studied classical (and some jazz) bass and computer science in college. I also love to ski and play squash.

PHILOSOPHY

Know thyself. If you're excellent to the world, usually the world responds in kind. Happiness and love are active practices.

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

The best way to learn about culture is through direct interactions with locals! Couch surfing is one of the best (if not the best!) ways to do that.

Musica, film e libri

LOTS I'm sure we have at least some common ground =)

Music is the most important to me of these: I love rock, indie, classical, jazz, house, deep house, funk, and more! I studied classical bass at a music conservatory.

I don't read as often as I should these days but I love science fiction (Dune, Stranger in a Strange Land) as well as fiction (A Song of Ice and Fire, Malazan: Book of the Fallen).

I love movies but I want them to have _substance_. Good acting, great story, beautiful cinematography, etc. I don't watch them too often these days. Some of my favorites are Lawrence of Arabia, Godfather 1-2, Inception

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

Hard to pick one, but I did get to see Radiohead play two nights in a row at a medium-sized venue last year. It's hard to pick a favorite concert (or pair) but that might be it.

Insegna, impara, condividi

Humor, intelligent conversation, and a very generous and courteous attitude

Cosa posso offrire ai padroni di casa

I'm actually pretty good in the kitchen so I'd be happy to help cook a meal (even if all you need is helping prep ingredients)! I also can help with technology related issues
