23. I like to write and make music.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because meeting new people is awesome. Making friends is where it's at and if you are an awesome person then you're welcome to party with me in Lyon.

Interests

I'm a student of history, a lover of literature, a lover of music and a lover of film. When I can, I combine it all.
I write novels/screenplays. I try to play the piano. I'm trying to be a master at chess.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music I went from rap to jazz to soul to funk to indierock to classical music to: "throw that shit at me if it makes my body tingle."

Movies:
Stanley Kubrick and Woody Allen have pretty much figured out film to perfection (and life).

Books:
Kurt Vonnegut and Haruki Murakami are Gods. Then you have some Demi-Gods called: Camus, Heinlein, Philip K Dick, Asimov, Adams and so on.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I taught English in China at a private school with no preparation or teaching materials. They didn't kick me out afterwards.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can tell you some cool historical meaningless anecdotes. I can tell you what I think is the meaning of life. I can teach you the basic principles of chess, and then have you beat me. I can teach you how to rap.

What I Can Share with Hosts
