Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Sometimes instead of AirBnB and renting a whole appartement it might be nice to just stay with some locals closer to the city. Especially for city "day" or weekend trips where you basically just need a place to crash or stash your suitcase while exploring the city. Plus I assume a host would have some good tips and maybe even be up for drinks or joining in the city tours. At the very least you have someone with a different background to have conversations with. Maybe even pickup some new knowledge, hobbies, understanding etc.

Movies I like horror and lots of cult classics. But I really tend to admire cinematography. Like how Wes Anderson creates great composition. But also Christopher Nolan's films. Also love the visual imagery Zhang Yimou creates in movies like House of a 1000 flying daggers or The Curse of the Golden Flower. I like all anime from Ghibli. I like Game of Thrones. Strong dialogs by Aaron Sorkin like in Newsroom or Billions. Visual mastery in Hannibal. But also just laughing at the hilariousness of Family Guy or Final Space.

Books
My favourite book is "Sea of Glass" by Barry B Longyear. For some reason I gave myself the task to read 100 classics. Ulysses, Beyond Good and Evil, War and Peace, Lolita, A Tale of Two Cities, Great Expectations, Animal Farm, 1984, you get the gist. Haven't gotten very far though. I think i've read just under 20.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Half marathon. Not so amazing if you consider so many people do it regularly. But it's a personal goal and achievement for me :-)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you to cook, cutting techniques, food pairings and plating ideas

I'm curious. So i like to learn

Would like to share travel experiences. This is my first time couch surfing. And I'm thinking of taking an extended vacation. Curious on your thoughts and experiences, packing up and traveling for a long time.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Knowledge. Bit of nerd sometimes. Love discussions! Plus i'm a web designer so if you need advice or help with code or design i can oblige. Other than that. I'm an excellent cook!
