CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life with friends, old and new

ABOUT ME

I am an open-minded, inquisitive person. I love to learn about other cultures from people, not books. That's why I enjoy travelling and hosting.

My friends think me weird for using this site. I think they do not trust enough and should open up to exploration and adventure.

I hang out in the lesser travelled parts of New York City. It's easier to find cool, genuine people and usually cheaper.

Anyway...

PHILOSOPHY

These are more like guides than philosophies
- Live and let live
- Reduce pain, when possible
- Follow my nose

I mostly host. When traveling, I use this service to get information from locals about the cool bars and good restaurants.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
DJs like Justice and Mr Oizo. But, I also like Punk Rock, both the earlier and pop forms; select Jazz groups like the Bad Plus and Medeski, Martin and Wood; a bunch of alternative rock groups like Cake, The Rentals, Portishead, and Tricky

Movies:
Netflix on-demand has ruined my taste. I will watch anything now... anything.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Hiked mountains in Crete.
- The sunset in La Jolla is beautiful.
