New to this! Going to be traveling to live in New York City very soon, and am hoping to set up in a hosting-friendly environment. More personal details to come, later (or just ask me)! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

What a great concept—a way to receive travelers, become more globally-savvy, and meet people from several walks of life!

Interests

-Comedy (performance-practitioner/writer)
-Various physical and mental disciplines (martial arts/yoga/ t'ai chi/sudarshan kriya)
-Stories...I love ascertaining even sometimes elusive connections between persons, places, things, and events
-Working with my hands (cleaning, putting things together/building, making pizza from scratch...perhaps you can teach me some origami?)
-Fervent discussions. Economics, politics, society and culture, media, language, esotericism.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I am not a purist by any strength—I love it when musical influences fuse together—though I do enjoy hip-hop and classical music. I also listen to a LOT of stand-up comedy, by trade.

Movies: I follow the Marvel Universe! I don't think I have a favorite movie, though it may be The Green Mile. I try to keep up-to-date with recent releases (Birdman, Imitation Game are two).

Books: reading "Brida" by Paulo Coehlo right now. Classic Kurt Vonnegut is an all-time favorite, since high school. I recently bought "Timequake," and can't wait to start reading it.
