Music, Movies, and Books

I love all kinds of music and have seen thousands of live shows. My favorite kind of music, however, is early 70's hard rock/psychedelia (check my podcast called Martian Landscape). Bands such as UFO, Black Sabbath, Thin Lizzy, Rush, Bowie, Zeppelin, Budgie, Taste, (early) Scorpions, Motorhead, etc......

Fave movies: V for Vendetta, They Live, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Bugsy Malone, Detroit Rock City....

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Resisted the dependency and addiction of technology!

Teach, Learn, Share

****** PLEASE READ******
Couchsurfing etiquette tip: If a host opens up their home to you offering food, shower, laundry, and a comfortable place to sleep, picks you up from a bus, subway, or train station, and/or spends their free time as tour guide driving you around the city, please at least offer to fill their gas tank and/or buy them a meal! Nothing is "expected" on couchsurfing.com, but a simple act of gratitude goes a long way! :)
