Hello!

I love dancing, books, and cooking. I have the most fun when I'm really stuck on some type of intellectual issue like the geometry of body movements and how to represent them in prose.

I am just starting to travel (again) and hope to meet some interesting people along the way!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because the platform provides a way to interact with people from around the world and potentially have the availability to spend time with those people. For what I do, I spend most of my time in solitude, so this platform allows for me to go outside of my comfort zone and interact in ways that might be harder if Couchsurfing didn't exist.

Interests

I love Bossa Nova from Brazil. To me, it's one of the most relaxing music styles out there. It reminds me of Jazz which means that the style is smooth yet there is a sense of urgency. All of my interest focus around this idea of the human body and its many applications to the physical world. For instance, basketball, tennis, and snare drumming all share similar motions while geometry is a metric of visual expression of these phenomenon. I also love to cook which isn't as brainy...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was in the Marine Corps Band...

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to teach someone their favorite song...

Learning how to cook Pho would be awesome...

And sharing a meal with someone I don't know could be cool.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my love and passion for music, dance, and language with any of my Hosts. Cooking is one of my favorite things to do, so I wouldn't mind cooking a few meals for a few people.
