I'm a lifelong autodidact with a weird blend of introvert + extrovert. I'm equally happy going out dancing on the town, tubing through an underground cave system, or sitting at home curled up with a book.

I'm prone to spontaneously breaking out in song or dance and will find the joke in any situation. Be warned.

I'm a religious Jew with various restrictions that often make travel complicated (the sabbath + kosher being the big ones), but I view them as a challenge rather than a limitation.

Just started a blog to document my thoughts and travels: http://anessaiver.com

Dlaczego jestem na Couchsurfing

I've come to realize that while I love to travel, the new sights and locations are actually secondary to me. What really makes any travel experience worthwhile is the new people that I meet, and couchsurfing seems to be one of the best ways to meet like-minded interesting new folk.

Muzyka, filmy i książki

MUSIC
I listen to some of almost anything outside of rap/death metal. When I put my full music library on shuffle people often get confused by sequences such as Brad Paisley -> Linkin Park -> Wicked -> Sum 41 -> Backstreet Boys -> Flogging Molly -> Lion King -> Peter Hollens / Sam Tsui (Awesome youtube artists)

MOVIES
LotR, Star Wars, The Prestige, Pirates (the only real one), V for Vendetta, The Matrix, Ocean's 11, The Court Jester, Anastasia, pretty much any Disney

BOOKS/Authors
Yes. I read ~2-3 books / week so there's no way I can list everything,
Sci-fi / Fantasy is my primary genre, but I'll read anything I find interesting.
Brandon Sanderson, Patrick Rothfuss, Peter V. Brett, Brent Weeks, Scott Lynch, R.A. Salvatore, Raymond E. Feist, Anthony Ryan, Tamora Pierce, James P Hogan, Heinlen, Ridley Scott, Ted Chang, Orson Scott Card
4-Hour-Body/Workweek/Chef, Thinking Fast and Slow, Blink, Sapiens, The Social Animal, The Power of Habit, Guns Germs and Steel, The Art of Asking, Influence,

Jedna niesamowita rzecz, którą zrobiłem(-am)

My brother and I once went to a high-class nightclub dressed in full vintage 1970's disco outfits (white suits, 4.5" platforms, bling, etc). We ended up taking over the center of the dance floor in the R&B room only to have the DJ start blasting the Bee Gees and one of the bouncers come out and start discoing with us.

Ucz innych, ucz się sam, udostępniaj

I love learning about pretty much anything, and one of the best ways to learn is to teach. Take a look at my interests and I'd be thrilled to either learn more about any of them or to impart my knowledge to others.
