Hi I’m Michael.

I am from upstate New York but I’m currently living in Ecuador. I am a semi nerd and like everything science and technology based. I enjoy getting out into nature and seeing the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on couch surfing because I like to travel and get to know not just people but the locations I’m in too. I do stay at hostels but that doesn’t get you the real local feel of the place, just get to know people, which is great! But you lack something too.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - anything really except for rap and opera. I used to enjoy country but now I put it on and it’s all about trucks and girls. Not my cup tea really.

Movies- I enjoy B level bad movies a lot, although my top films are Moonrise Kingdom, Interstellar (closest CGI rendition we have so far to an example of a black hole), Arrival and Contact.

Books - I really enjoy science fiction and fantasy books. Robotech, Expanse series, Malloraon Series, Wheel of Time, Game of Thrones (I haven’t seen past season 2!! No spoilers please)
