Hi, travel and new experiences/new people make me feel alive.
Other than that, I mostly think about cats, bikes, and nature.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet incredible people and explore the world, to have new experiences and learn new things.

Interests

Chess, mountain biking, bicycle mechanics, skiing, hiking, sustainability, nature, plant & animal taxonomy,
friendly cats are my weakness.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: American Beauty, A Place Beyond the Pines, anything by Warren Miller
I was raised on The Simpsons. watched Neon Genesis Evangelion recently.

Been listening to a lot of ambient recently. I was really into Radiohead in highschool. Motown is never a bad choice. I like drum and bass when exercising/playing speed chess. Looove me some Beach House, Grizzly Bear, and James Blake, Tame Impala. Drake holds a special place in my heart.
Current artists I'm exploring: MF Doom, Oneohtrix Point Never, Connan Mockasin, Aphex Twin
