Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Staying with people gives you an authentic experience, it is amazing how many incredible coach serfers there are out there. The people I have met traveling or have hosted on my travels will always have a special place in my heart!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love People of the Book by Gwendolyn Brooks, anything by Huraki Murakami or Kurt Vonnegutt, The Devil in the White City, Jane Eyre, The Alchemist.

I really love all music but lately I'm feeling West African Strings, like Gnawa, or Funk always makes me happy. I really like Fugues because its like clock work. Im also pretty fluent in Jewish Cantoral singing and Klezmer. French Impressionist Piano sings my soul song.

I am a big fan of Wes Anderson, its cliche I know. I watch a lot of B horror films. The Fall is an incredible movie, The Bands Visit, The Educators, Pride are all other favorites

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once offended the Prince of Bhutan while volunteering at a Folk Festival. I noticed one of the archers started giving me strange looks as he walked by me, I thought it was strange but did not linger on it long. Someone later told me I had upset the Prince by not raising as he stood but no one told me!
