About Me

I am just a code monkey living in New York City who travels often and loves hosting events.

I love going cycling, hiking and kayaking. I try to bike to work whenever the weather is good. I play board games and computer games and for fun I run a Star Wars Fan Site and do programming. I love making cocktails for other folks and play trivia. Huge fan of museums (yay - life in the NYC!) so I will host events.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd love to meet new people to spend time with. Folks here are well-travelled and they always have interesting stories. Doing activities together is a lot more fun than by yourself =)

Music, Movies, and Books

I love a variety of music. I am mostly into House, EDM, Synthwave & Electronic (Scandinavian heavy) music like Swedish House Mafia, Deadmau5, Avicci, Daft Punk, Gorillaz, Röyksopp, LeMaitre, Miike Snow, Studio Killers. And some electronic swing such as Caravan Palace. Other than that oldies such as Beatles & Rolling Stones and classical such as Bach or Tchaikovsky

I have a sweet heart for 80s adventure films such as Indiana Jones, Back to the Future, Aliens, Terminator, Star Wars. And some other gems like Inception Shawshawnk Redemption, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly and Godfather.

Books I like are Lord of the Rings, Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy and anything by Jules Verne.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am Indiana Jones at heart and love to visit ancient temples and ruined cities. So far I've been to Angkor Wat, Macchu Picchu, Petra, Knossos with Hampi Vijayanagara next ont my list.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can certainly teach you programming basics so you can write your infinite loops in no time =)

But I would much rather give historical tours of cities and places. Will you be willing audience?

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to explore. I typically wake up early and am out the door finding the closest museum.
