About Me

I am that faceless anonymous bureaucrat everyone talks about. I live and work in Geneva, do theatre, watch movies, cook, etc etc. I live with a roommate, who is a historian and social media manager.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've heard good things about the site, it seems like a fun process and a good way to find places to stay.

I'm looking at hosting, because Geneva sucks. It's expensive and complicated and not user friendly. There's a "there but for the grace of God go I" aspect to it. I've been on couches here and in other cities, and I know how it works.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Doomtree, Enter the Haggis, Macklemore, Anamanaguchi, Girl Talk, various things like that.
Movies: Almost anything: The Thing, Princess Bride, The Marvel Cinematic Universe films, Hayao Miyazaki's work, Casablanca, name it, I probably like it.
Books: Hemingway, Camus, Tolkien, Pratchett, Gaiman, Marquez, I tend to listen more on Audible than reading text these days, but that's not an absolute.
