Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Interests

I like going outdoors, meeting interesting people, and noticing new things.

• sign language

Music, Movies, and Books

In a nutshell: eclectic.
Books: Right now, I'm reading "Wisdom: from philosophy to neuroscience," a mystery novel who's title and author shall remain nameless, "Zen: Nothing Special," and "Original Blessing." I would love another chance to see "The Red Book" Carl Jung's "journal" during his "breakdown." I'm just opening my eyes to Joseph Campbell. I'm reading some more Kurt Vonegut short stories.
Music: Changes with my mood, as it should. Fiona Apple, Jem, The Blow, Astronuatilus, Of Montreal, The Postal Service, This Bike is a Pipe Bomb, Against Me!, Rancid, Aesop Rock, Lily Allen, Cake, Fugazi, Sublime, Ani Difranco, Led Zepplin, Gnarls Barkley, Regina Spektor, Atmosphere, Sage Francis, Portishead... etc...
"TV" ~ Dust Monkey, etc.
Movies: Inglorious Basterds has been my most recent favorite. I like Quentin Tarantino in general. City of God, Run Lola Run, Pan's Labyrinth, Life is Beautiful. Those are mostly foreign. I guess if they are good enough to make it to the USA they must be worth watching... well no that theory doesn't hold up. Oh well I like foreign films.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a bit of American Sign Language, usually enough to communicate basics. I'm currently taking Beginner's Italian once a week.
