ABOUT ME

I still have a lot of work to do to figure this part out. I love music, books, film. I have been vegan for several years. I like to find old cameras, fix them, modify modern film to fit them, and take pictures. I love writing and writing music.

I have been told by a few couchsurfers that I am taller than I look in my profile pictures, so to get it all out in the open, I am 6'2" (1.89m).

PHILOSOPHY

I just like to let things happen. I always hope for good things, but if bad things come I will handle them then rather than expecting them beforehand. It's a new philosophy, so I will update this if it turns out to be a bad one.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to host as often as possible and have done a bit of surfing. I hope to do that as much as possible too.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted a lot and surfed a little. It has been great every time and I have not met a person I didn't instantly like.

Interests

I love learning new languages, or just words and phrases in languages. I learn a lot from watching film, listening to music, or just being with friends who are speaking with each other.

Music, Movies, and Books

Some of my favorite directors:
Majidi, Kiarostami, Makhmalbaf (all of them are good,) Fellini, Bergman, Menzel, Kaurismäki... I guess I really like Iranian directors, but am very openminded with film.

Some writers:
Orhan Pamuk, Patrick McCabe, David B, Chinua Achebe, Vladimir Nabokov, Cesar Aira, and a lot of others.

The music... too many to list and it changes so often. I like what Sweden is doing with pop music these days. I like orchestral pop music. I don't like the names that somebody made for all the subgenres, so I won't use any if I can help it. I love hip hop and R&B from the late 80s, early & mid 90's. There are still some decent hip hop groups out there now.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walking to Machu Picchu to get there in time for sunrise was pretty incredible.
