To coalesce all those stray missions of mine into a well-oiled machine.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to meet new people to share and exchange interests and experiences. And potentially wine and beer.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Spent some time with a host and was pleasantly surprised at the experience.

Interests

I have a very addictive personality, in a good way. Transient obsessions.

I enjoy cooking. My current favorites: Custom chicken curry with rice and naan, Vegan "cheesy" kale chips, Mexican bbq

Music, Movies, and Books

Big lover of music. I enjoy listening to what other people get excited about as much as listening to what excites me.
I used to watch movies, now they all seem pretty vapid and an exercise in the opportunity cost of my precious time. Now great original series like House of Cards, Breaking Bad...that's another story.
I enjoy books when I have the time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Here's one: I arrived in Venezuela for high school study abroad on Sept 9, 2001. More wtf than amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can show you:

How to open a bottle of wine with a shoe. Or a pen.
Some cool apps I'm working on.
Some interesting music.

I would like to learn whatever you fancy.
