About Me

At the moment, I'm a bit of a disenchanted techie. Screens are just not doing it for me lately. I need some more adventure in my days.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm saving up to travel myself, and thought it'd be fun to meet some cool people while I wait.

Music, Movies, and Books

The Up And Vanished podcast was dope.

Really loved Borgia on Netflix. The Canal+ production, not Showtime's The Borgias.

I like Hamilton Leithauser's most recent record, and I've been trying to learn jazz guitar: mostly Wes Montgomery and this new guy, Julian Lage.

I generally tend to pick up lots of non-fiction books on whatever seems cool at the library

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Camped across Chreokee National Forest and the Great Smokey Mountains.

What I Can Share with Hosts

free wifi, two bathrooms each with their own shower, a clean couch with clean linens, plenty of consumer tech for use

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Germany, Italy, Switzerland
