I am a single guy in my late twenties. I just returned to the states after a two year adventure of music study and grokking in Indonesia (Java and Bali). I now support myself teaching English online as I begin the next mysterious chapter of my life.

I studied liberal arts in school but I am mostly passionate about different kinds of music. I have eclectic tastes and love mixing with different kinds of folks.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am in a transitional phase and pretty stoked to be back in the states, so that may involve some moving around and going places I've never been before.

Interests

music, grooves, tastes, insights, facts, flavors.

• arts
• coffee
• music

Music, Movies, and Books

many kinds of music from Indonesia and other parts of the world, many kinds of electronic music, jazz, funk, experimental music--stuff that breathes life into us.

books--many; I was a literature major in school, however I don't get around to reading that much these days. Hopefully I will get back to it once I'm in the US again. (+Thanatos To Eros by Myron Stolaroff)

I like 'art' films I guess you'd say--anything that exists for more reasons than money, and hilarious things and weird things.
