Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like making new friends both domestically and abroad, internationally.

I find that it's easy to forget the larger picture and how big the world really is when you're consumed with getting by in your routine from day-to-day, in our own little corners of the world. It's nice to be reminded about the important things in life: good friends (new or old), good food and drink, and interesting conversations that help enlarge our perspectives of the world and people around us.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm really into finding new bands and catching up on old ones. Oftentimes I can be found at a concert checking out a smaller, lesser known band or artist.

I enjoy perusing through a bookstore or magazine rack, and discovering nice, alternative, independent magazine with fascinating stories, mixed with good design.

My list of book and magazines to-read/acquire is never ending, therefore my list of films to see is sadly also ongoing :P

Other times I go to art galleries to see a particular artist that I follow on social media that happens to be exhibiting in town. I try to draw artistic or philosophical inspiration from their work.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Great stories, interesting and compelling conversation over drinks and or dinner.
