I've lived in Dallas for a little over a year. I am about 15 minutes from downtown and love walking around taking photos. I also like to go for hikes just outside the city or at parks inside the city.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really want to meet people when traveling. I think it's important to take in the usual attractions, but I really want to experience a place the way a local does. Along with that, I think it would be cool to meet a new friend while I'm at it.

Interests

To be honest I think I'm due for a new interest every 6 months. Some gain more prominence than others at times. Right now I'm immersed in photography. Even with this, it's an ebb and flow deal, but it's seem to stick. I love walking around downtown and other areas of Dallas and taking photos of places and things. I still haven't mustered the courage to ask people for their photos. Soon though!

I also love to play the guitar. I mainly love to pick it up and play a few songs here and there. I'm not too serious about music; it's more of a hobby.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Folk/acoustic (Joe Purdy, Pete Seeger, Billy Bragg, Alexi Murdoch), Ryan Adams, Townes Van Zandt, Rogue Wave, Sigur Ros, Bruce Springsteen. Basically an eclectic taste in music.

Movies: I really like Wes Anderson films (Darjeeling Limited, Moonrise Kingdom, The Grand Budapest Hotel, and Rushmore), The Shawshank Redemption, Lord of the Rings, Adventureland, Amelie, and many more that I can't think of right now.

Books: John Steinbeck (Cannery Row, The Wayward Bus, Of Mice and Men), 1984 by George Orwell, Into the Wild by John Krakauer, The Green Mile by Stephen King
