I am an extremely laid back student trying to get to know the world. I am traveling Europe this month with a friend looking to have some fun and authentic experiences before work starts later this summer. Also just a heads up I am gay and traveling with my friend who is a girl--not my girlfriend. Open to learning about LGBT on the global scale.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking for locals to compliment tourist experiences with authentic cultural knowledge. Also hoping to meet more people while traveling! Would love someone to show me where to go out at night and know good food spots for the days.

Interests

Writing, drawing, film, techno music, outer space and attempting to marry philosophy and physics.

Music, Movies, and Books

Really broad range in music. Love Felix Jaehn at the moment for music but in general really enjoy most electronic music--particularly in a deep house phase. Basically listen to everything but country music.

Love Dans La Maison, Momento, and old Charlie Chaplin films--I think films today in America are too noisy. Also obsessed with Anchor Man, Wedding Crashers, Knocked Up, Superbad and the like.

Really enjoy The Reader, Atlas Shrugged (beautifully written and articulate despite being a little labored), and clichéd Gatsby.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived as an au pair in China, such an eyeopening experience.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A fun and contagious energy as well as a respect for all cultures. Very openminded and a mellow not flamboyant gay guy who likes to think he's funny.
