I am in between city college and university so i used my time and money to gain a different type of education that i have been yearning for for years. This is my first time out of my country and as strange as it may seem, i feel very at home as a traveler. I love unexpected circumstances, overcoming obstacles and discovering parts of my psyche that i have not yet encountered. I am very introspective but can also be very social at times. I enjoy beers and conversation over shots and loud techno. Although i have been known to attend the latter from time to time. I love gothic architecture and psychedelic art. I am not a big fan of crowds or tourist traps, although some sights must be seen. More than anything, i enjoy authenticity. In people, places, food, words and sounds, authenticity is what peaks my interest.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

I have been collecting a list of music, media and literature on my travels and i want to keep this list growing so i can share it with my friends and family when i return home or with others along my journey!

My taste in music ranges anywhere from underground hip-hop to EDM. A few of my favorites include: MF DOOM, Glass Animals, Gorillaz, Atmosphere, Mos Def, Hippie Sabotage, Disclosure, Kygo, Isaiah Rashad & Tom Misch.

My favorite movies include any film that challenges my perspective or imagination... In addition to your typical gangster, kung-fu, gladiator type movies. those work too. I was raised by Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Wayne's World and Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

I just finished The Boys in the Boat and am looking for a new book!
