Air, Bad Religion, Boards of Canada, Cake, Chicane, Citizen Cope, The Cranberries, The Doors, E Nomine, Franz Ferdinand, Interpol, Kosheen, Led Zeppelin, Loreena Mckennit, Metric, M83, Our Lady Peace, Pink Floyd, Rush, Sigor Ros, Simon & Garfunkel, The Strokes, U2, Within Temptation and Yann Tiersen.

I also enjoy all sorts of classical music, jazz and folk music as well. I hope to learn to play a few instruments in future.

Favorite TV Shows:

I hardly ever watch TV. When I do, I like something like the discovery channel. I enjoy Mythbusters, Portlandia, got a kick out watching Dollhouse.

Favorite Movies:
I hardly ever watch movies.. but yes, I enjoy them. Little Miss Sunshine, The Corporation, Amelie.. a bunch of others that I can't think of at the moment. I recently saw Slumdog Millionaire and really liked it. I seem to average one movie in theatre a year.

Moved half across the world for a year (twice).
Went to a regional burning man.
Slept comfortably outdoors at 5C under 7 wool blankets.

Ensine, Aprenda, Compartilhe

I am pretty good at fixing bicycles and can definitely teach you how to maintain and repair yours. I'm one of those strange folks that enjoy budgeting. I also like making suggestions to people about how they can reduce their environmental impact. Cooking together is fun too!
