O mnie
CURRENT MISSION
More! More! More!
ABOUT ME
Are you sitting comfortably? Then we'll begin. They say my name is Michael...that's what they called me.
Of all things, my dearest reader, I think I best enjoy sitting in a room with kind people, music and little pockets of conversation. I was born and raised in Scotland, and therefore don't often complain about the weather. Unless it's too hot.
PHILOSOPHY
If I put anything in this box it would be deeply offensive and contrary to my personal philosophy...mmm. Oops.
Dlaczego jestem na Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Couchsurfed in the U.S with some of the most wonderfully wonderful people I have ever met, and had even couchsurfed a couple of times before that. As soon as I have some kind of fixed place I'd be loving to be looking to do some hosting.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Playing Old-Time classics at a Pittsburghian Free Market.
The Philly skyline from a Philly rooftop. With Philly beer.
Kayaking in Austin.
Recording music in Memphis.
Zainteresowania
Lots!...and lots! I play guitar and love it, I occasionally play the harmonica and love it, I'd love to learn the piano more than I've had the chance to, because I love it, I want to see more of the world, because I love it, I want to learn more language, because I love it, I want to meet more people, because I love them.

Muzyka, filmy i książki
Music: I can't say I like all kinds of music, but I can definitely listen to all kinds in an attempt to appreciate them. I lean more towards weirder voices, guitar-y sounds, strong melodies. ("Indie"/"Anti"/*Prefix*-)Folk, Bluegrass, Blues and some country are what you'd find me listening to with a silly look of satisfaction on my face. Bob Dylan, Bon Iver, Old Crow Medicine Show, Regina Spektor are who spring randomly to mind.Films: I like almost any kind of film. I find films easy to watch, because I find I don't really have to do anything and I can eat at the same time. There Will Be Blood (anything with Day Lewis), Once Upon a Time in the West and the MWNN trilogy, Ladri di Biciclette and How to Train Your Dragon amongst the bests in immediate memory.Books: More a fan of non-fiction, since you're asking, but enjoy reading on history and linguistics and simple (simple, simple) science. As far as non-fiction, I usually smile more when I'm reading quirky or strange stuff. Woolf, Tom Robbins and Kerouac are in there, along with a bunch of dead poets. They don't know I read their stuff.
Jedna niesamowita rzecz, którą zrobiłem(-am)
- My days in Edinburgh City Capital of the Kingdom of Scotland.
- The Jacobite Uprising of 1745. If they'd only have listened to me.
- The eastern half of the USA. Can you "do" a country? I bet you can.
