I'm just a big ol' nerd that loves to travel and meet new people. In every new experience, and every meeting of someone new, there is something to learn. And boy, do I have a thirst for learning!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people, and get the inside scoop of the places I travel to. If you're traveling to my city, I would love to be your tour guide.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: I love most books written by Stephen King. The Giver, Farnham's Freehold, and Cat's Cradle are awesome. I'm currently reading The Sirens of Titan and Stranger in Strange Land.

Movies: Any movie directed by Woody Allen, Wes Anderson, The Coen Brothers, Darren Aronofsky, Tim Burton, and Quentin Tarentino. I have a soft spot for most of the movies that play on TCM at 5 am. Some of my other favorites are Willy Wonka, Drop Dead Fred, The Fifth Element, Kung Fu Hustle, Shaun of the Dead, Amelie, Angel-A, Mr. Nobody, Return to Oz, To Wong Fu, The Witches of Eastwick, Welcome to the Dollhouse, Happiness, eXistenZ, Star Trek, American Beauty, Hear No Evil, See No Evil, National Lampoons Senior Trip, Garden State, Tree of Life, Phil the Alien, The Brothers Solomon, Wristcutters, Memento, Run Lola Run, The Fall, and way too many more to list here. I also love zombie movies and cheesey sci-fi movies consisting of giant killer insects, killer clowns, killer tomatoes... you catch my drift. A new favourite is The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. It is highly underrated. It just gets me.

Shows: Doctor Who, Rick and Morty, Game of Thrones, Lost Girl, Peep Show, Derek, Defiance, Louie, An Idiot Abroad, It's Always Sunny, Fringe, Workaholics, Grimm, The Big Bang Theory, Stargate SG-1, Idiotsitter

Music: I love Elliott Smith, The Deftones, Sparta, Radiohead, Jeff Buckley, Eisley, A Perfect Circle, Neutral Milk Hotel, The Pixies, Nirvana, The Smiths, The Mars Volta, Portugal.The Man, The Shins, Devotchka, Noel Gallagher, Devendra Banhart, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, SPM, Regina Spektor, The Toadies, The Beatles, The Cranberries, The Kinks, The Rolling Stones, Saul Williams, Modest Mouse, Ginuwine, Johnny Cash,The Beach Boys.... just to name a VERY few... I'm a big fan of ''malt shop'' tunes, soul, blues, and good hip hop. I have a large group of friends who listen to electronic music almost solely, and I do enjoy it, but I have no idea how do differentiate genres...and am not snobby about it whatsoever. Hehe. Though, I can say that I really dig witch house.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I taught my niece that's it's okay to fall. To not be afraid to put herself out there. Now she's on her school's football team and top ranking in her band.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm sort of a Jack of all Trades, Master of None sort of type. There's nothing I can really say I excel at, but I do know a little bit about a lot of things. I can teach you how to play Texas Hold 'em, or drive a car with a manual transmission, or how to throat sing, hehe. If I know something you don't, I am more than willing to teach you what I know. As for learning, I want to learn everything! If you know something I don't, I'm so ready to soak up that knowledge!
