I'm one of those struggling, beer-drinking authors, except not as sentimental and depressed. I consider myself a nice and reliable guy. Comfy chairs and conversations are preferred to glowsticks and music too loud to talk. I like to sing, though, different styles like Oasis, Roxette or, um, Backstreet Boys.

My philosophy is to keep looking forward. Set goals and make plans on how to reach those goals, then actually do what you've set out to do.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To have a reason to clean up and tidy my apartment.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: Mostly sci-fi, preferably stories where they uncover something high-tech far down in the Antarctic ice. Full disclosure: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/18861667-daniel-milford

Movies: Sci-fi, action flicks and dramas. Full disclosure: http://www.imdb.com/user/ur0417632/ratings

Music: Melodies, great production, and I love unexpected details and complexity. Thus I am really fond of progressive rock, but from what you can tell from my singing habits, I listen to a ton of stuff. Full disclosure: http://www.last.fm/user/Milford
