I am an introvert with a laptop, camera, books, and a backpack.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It is a lot of fun to host foreign people and to learn about the neat things in each locality.

Music, Movies, and Books

I read a mix of fiction and non-fiction. Non-fiction tends to be books about programming, conservation, or nature. Fiction tends to be fantasy, thriller, mystery, and sci-fi. I got tired of movies at some point in my life and mostly watch documentaries anymore. I like a wide assortment of music, generally instrumental and rock.

I'd recommend Maphead, Tent Dwellers, or The Big Thirst to anyone looking for a book to read. (updated 4/2015)
