CURRENT MISSION

leave a good mark on the world

PHILOSOPHY

Far too nuanced and idiosyncratic to explain here, but I try my hardest to always be accommodating, genuine, and kind in my day-to-day life.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Music, Movies, and Books

how much time do you have?

I love Russian literature as well as any other engaging fiction. Also, lots of philosophy, theory, political science, good journalism and other non-fiction, anything that grips and challenges me. As far as music, my preferences are noisy, weird indie rock, lots of garage rock, lots of punk, lots of experimental pop, lots of hip hop, old soul, the list goes on... My film interests are all over: French, Italian, Mexican, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, good American film. Roman Polanski, Spike Lee, and Sidney Lumet are among my favorite directors.
