CURRENT MISSION

Intercultural communication and sustainable living.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travelling and prefer to meet with people who know the area and the culture than being a total tourist who only gets to see the superficial upper layer of a place.

Interests

I love food and finding good food is one of my favourite parts of travelling. I love reading, watching films, talking philosopy/politics and sustainibility.

Music, Movies, and Books

There are so many, so let me just put a few broad strokes.

Movies: Mostly comedy or intellectual, so anything by the Coen Brothers or Charlie Kaufman.

Music: I love words so lyrics are very important to me, so I love intelligent hiphop. I also enjoy d&b, breakbeat, and folky/gypsy/etc bands like Cat Empire, Gogol Bordello, Beirut, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, etc. Then a lot of older rock: Tom Waits, Dylan, Donovan, The Doors, etc.

Books: I love good fantasy (Tolkien, Pratchett) and sci-fi (Douglas Adams, Alfred Bester, Vonnegut, Asimov, etc) (these days more of the latter). I also love magic realism (like Murakami). Anything that gives me a new way of looking at the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Exist

Teach, Learn, Share

That sounds good.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love talking about what's going on in the world and what we experience and how we can try to explain and/or change things. So I can share my opinion I guess. I also love cooking, so I may share some recipes if the occasion presents itself.
