I've always been restless staying in the same place for too long, and I love new experiences and adventure, so traveling naturally satisfies me. I particularly enjoy shared experiences, whether it's something active or just a good conversation.

Next major trips: Kilimanjaro, Antartica, Australia/New Zealand.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My traveling experiences are more dependent on the people than the places, so I want to meet new people and share perspectives.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - Anything that doesn't damage my ears, now I mostly listen to movie soundtracks. I was also in a jazz band and played violin most of my life.

Movies/TV - Kubrick's work is my favorite, but I always had a soft spot for series like LoTR, Star Wars, and Futurama. Lately I've been enjoying long format tv shows more, such as Sherlock.

Books - I used to read a lot of classics and history, then I became lazy and just read scifi and fantasy. I don't have a favorite book, but my least favorite book is easily Pedro Paramo.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Got lost swimming in the ocean for a day.

Climbing in the Alps.

Kayak in the Amazon.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can't teach much, unless you want to build a robot or something, but I'm interested in learning everything.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories, hopefully a good experience. I'm a primitive cook.
