About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see the world, learn other languages and cultures, share life experiences with people.

ABOUT ME

I'm a traveler, musician, and language geek. I like to learn about (and experience!) other cultures, usually over a drink or two. Everyone's got interesting experiences and stories. Making connections with random people around the world, even if just for a day, is such an amazing thing to be a part of. So let's have a pint!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

None yet, just hotels and hostels, but I'm hoping to change that soon!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Gogol Bordello, Flogging Molly, Balkan Beat Box, Muse, Goran Bregovic, The Crooked Fiddle Band. Ke$ha...

Movies: Anything by Darren Aronofsky or Wes Anderson. The Godfather, The Matrix, Lord of the Rings.

Books: I'm currently reading Steven Pinker's "The Stuff of Thought" and a bunch of stories by Franz Kafka. Terry Prachett and Issac Asimov are good. I like cyberpunk stuff like Gibson and Stevenson.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to Guatemala once and climbed an active volcano, reaching (a safe distance from) the top at sunset on my birthday. It is the most beautiful memory I have of nature.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can give music lessons for violin.
