Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Maybe use this to travel one day with a different experience than hotels and hostels.

Music, Movies, and Books

There's so many for each of these that it's hard to pick just a few.

Music: I listen to a lot of music, with very varied tastes. I mostly listen to alternative/indie/weird(?) (Metric, Chairlift, Grimes, Beck, Vampire Weekend, Kero Kero Bonito, The xx, Lush, Bjork) but I've always been a fan of a lot of electronic genres (esp. eurodance (Basshunter, Manian, Cascada, Italobrothers, Scooter, etc.) happy hardcore, electro-swing), classical, jazz, futurefunk/vaporwave, psychedelic rock (Pink Floyd, Jefferson Airplane, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard) and foreign stuff like Jpop/rock and Kpop (Red Velvet, Mamamoo, TWICE, Orange Caramel, EXID, SNSD). I have a long time soft spot for Celtic/Irish music (Celtic Woman, Gaelic Storm, The High Kings, Flogging Molly, etc. and classical/baroque. I enjoy going to live shows and concerts.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm pretty into typology, like personality types and such. I enjoy talking about it and getting people "typed".
