About Me

I'm in constant wonder of everything's that's around me and I'm consistently overwhelmed by the desire to just learn everything about everything.

Don't quite know where my comfort zone is, but if I ever did find it the only comfort I'd get is staying well outside of its borders.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The best part of travelling has without a doubt been meeting people and sharing experiences with them. It's the reason I choose to stay in hostels, the people I've met have really made many of my trips. Couchsurfing was recommended to me many times as an even better way to meet people.

Interests

An avid reader, my room is literally so cluttered with books that I barely have space to walk. The only thing that comes close is films. I've traveled to other countries, from S. Korea to Turkey, exclusively for film festivals. A day of watching and discussing films is a day well-spent.

Music, Movies, and Books

Way, way too many to list. However at the time of writing this, my current obsessions are: Masaki Kobayashi, Ernst Lubitsch, Raymond Carver, Alice Munro, Sleater Kinney, George Gershwin

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiked across the UK (including New Year's Day, in the middle of a storm)...that decision has probably given me more stories than any other single decision I've ever made.

What I Can Share with Hosts

An endless curiosity and a personality that's always eager to listen to what you have to say and learn more
