I'm an artist, poet, translator, curator, publisher, and singer. You can check out my art on Instagram@bobzillerart, on Facebook, or at: www.pittsburghartistregistry.org/accounts/view/bobziller I'm easy-going, liberal, vegetarian, enjoy yoga and t'ai chi. I'm also a cat magnet: I have four friendly cats that have shown up on three different porches over the past several years. (I mention this for those travelers with cat allergies ...)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was previously a member, but was doing a lot of construction on my house and closed my account. I've hosted some great people, and plan on doing more traveling myself, while meeting fellow couchsurfers along the way.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm pretty open to all types of music ... usually classical radio is on at the house, or the local Americana(ish) local listener-supported WYEP. I go to a fair amount of movies, from foreign indies to pop culture car chasing superhero comedies ... I have a song on YouTube, my band Bingo Quixote, "Maybe You Caught the Roses" : (www.youtube.com/watch/v=RYdD2k4ewbM) I'm a former bookstore owner(which I sold a few years ago), so I'm a reader ... I've translated two books of poetry by Jean-Joseph Rabearivelo, the great African surrealist poet of Madagascar.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've hitchhiked through almost every state ... which isn't all that amazing, though probably less than 1 percent of the population has done that.
