About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Planning Turkey/Cappadocia (SEP 2019)

ABOUT ME

High energy, but also a pretty chill guy (situation specifi)c. Love anime, foreign cultures, food and social interaction. The more music the better! Food. Food. Food. Food. Food. Taurus.

Work is kicking my ass, these days (winter 2018) so I can't promise I'll have time/energy to hang out, but I'll try my best. At the very least I can offer a place to sleep.

Generally can't host on Wednesdays.

PHILOSOPHY

Be the best human being you can be.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to accommodate requests when calendar (and social juggling) allows, and i occasionally browse open host requests from time to time.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Many and pleasant since my introduction to the CS community.
Y'all are great :D

Interests

Comics, music, anime, experiences in general. Fine dining and delicious hole-in-the-walls. Most animals, but cats and dogs in particular. Cooking. Fancy drinks. Dancing that shit UP. Gaming, to a degree. Biking, mildcore workouts, healthier eating, etc. Oh, and English Toffee.

I'm sure there's more. Try defining YOUR total interests in a few sentences ;-)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
Portishead, Hooverphonic, The Weekend, Perfume - The story of a murderer OST, Alessia Cara, Imogen Heap, Jhene Aiko, Kill J, Phaeleh, Samael, Symbion Project, Tool, Tove Lo. So many more.

Movies:
Solaris, The perks of being a wallflower, Gataca, Fear and loathing in las vegas, Dangerous liaisons, Avengers, Captain America (2 and 3), most anything by Miyazaki, 3-iron, Her. So. Many. More!

Books:

Well crafted prose, great dialogue makes or breaks any medium of written origin. Characterization is key.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Every country, every new travel and all the new people that i meet are amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I find that all three concepts come into play automatically when people come together.
