I consider myself a bit weird but in a celebratory way

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think couch surfing is such a positive way of travelling and allows you to go beyond the touristic interface of a place. It gives you a better chance of understanding a place through a person who lives there and wants to share where they live rather than a place which wants to make money off of you or tell you a certain narrative of a place. In addition it's a great way of fostering trust and mutual understanding between people across the world.

Interests

Music is my main love of life I spend most of my time on it, thinking about it, playing it, listening to it. I also love biking (both practically as a means to get around and Long bike trips). I like reading. I like playing games with people like board games. I like talking with people. I like cooking food for people.

Music, Movies, and Books

I Love animal collective. Other bands and music: deerhunter, dirty projectors, I listen to a lot of jazz, especially free stuff like ornette Coleman, miles Davis etc. this is a very short list. I like music that is super weird but still grounded still groovy. That's pretty much true for most things I like.

For books Italo Calvino is my favourite author. I think his writing is so beautiful, so complex. He is great at making everything seem weird, even the most normal of things.
