Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet people from all kinds of places and different walks of life.
When traveling, I seek to leave the beaten path and search for the unexpected.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: Man's search for meaning truely stuck with me
Movies: Everything from Wes Anderson
Music: Mainly psychedelic rock but also classic, soul, blues ...
