Friendly, intellectually-driven, and free-spirited. Interest in culture, philosophy, economics, art, music, architecture, and politics!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling Europe 2016-1017 and looking for total immersion in the culture of those cities and countries...not the usual tourist fare.

Music, Movies, and Books

Well that's tough. I really love sci-fi, so anything by Asimov, or Arthur C. Clarke. I really like Agatha Christie's work. I love old movies from the 20's, 30's, and 40's. Music from those eras too, though I'll listen to about anything. I really like EDM music a lot. Have to say, Austra, Grimes, Florence and the Machine, Gorillaz, and Active Child are a favourite right now. I am also, and this may be extreme, an avid liturgical listener, particularly of the ancient Byzantine church music. I also really like ancient philosophy like Aristotle and Socrates. Currently I am listening to Stefan Molyneux's Free Domain Radio Podcasts, which are free to listen to and a great source of knowledge and insight. I really like the modern Libertarian writers as well, like Ayn Rand, Ludwig von Mises, Friedrich Hayek, and Murray Rothbard. I really want to get my hands on some of Thomas Aquinas' and Socrates' work, as I am learning about Scholasticism. Okay, I think that's enough. XD

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have achieved a black belt in Tae-Kwan-Do, so that's major. I am still alive, so that's great as well. I am on this journey around Europe too!

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to enhance my own philosophy, to become wise, and to learn to love! I want to share what I do know, or is it that I know nothing and wish to see the world as my teacher. :D

What I Can Share with Hosts

A really good attitude. I am pleasant to be around and seeking adventure is a standard for me. I am also awkward, clumsy, and forgetful, so I can give you a good laugh! Share a few drinks, and some food, we can exchange stories like old men, and joke like young.
