As a lover of cultures and good conversation, I'm really looking forward to meeting new people and hopefully visiting them as well. I have had a fleeting interest in many things, and some of them have stuck. Others need people for me to share the interest with for it to really be sustained, so hopefully meeting like minded people on here will help with that!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd love to meet people from different countries and learn new perspectives about life and everything in it.

Music, Movies, and Books

I grew up on (soft) rock and I still love that most, especially some 80s guitar rock, but I can enjoy many genres of music.

Quentin Tarantino, Robert Rodriguez, and Guy Ritchie movies... Movies starring Jason Statham, often for the mindless entertainment. I also like movies that make you think, most noticeable The Life of David Gale.

As for books, my absolute favourite is Donna Tartt's The Secret History. These days I'm really into Lian Yanke and Andre Gide books. Currently reading Escape from Camp 14 by Blaine Harden.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

See the Taj Mahal at dawn. Get chased off the road by a tiger. Watch the water show in Dubai standing in the shadow of the Burj Khalifa. Touch both an ancient temple and a piece of modern architecture at the same time in Seoul. Camp in Wadi Rum, Jordan, and see the lost city of Petra with my own eyes.

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't yet have the confidence I have much to teach, but I'd love to learn from many people and whatever I can share, I will.
