Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To be honest, the main reason I couch surf is to meet and mingle with a local. Being a long term traveller, it can get tedious and exhausting to continuously research things to do, places to see, and meals to try only to find out they were either overrated or terribly sub par. I am a people person. I thrive when I interact with others, and I am able to connect with almost anyone and anywhere...I ave learned that the best way to experience a new destination is by asking a local...

Interests

I am a very, very curious creature...I'm developing new interests and hobbies as I try new things and new ways...as I face my fears, or take an existing interest to a higher level. Music, food, cultural events, caves, and secret hangouts are some of my interest...I have a particular interest in understanding different cultures through their spirituality....and more than anything, I love meeting new people!

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite book at the moment is Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami...but pretty much anything by Murakami is amazing! Music moves my soul, and I enjoy many different styles, but my main interest is electronic music.
