I generally have a laid-back attitude, I'm very interested in politics, and I like travelling and meeting new people from all walks of life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been on couchsurfing for a long time, but I haven't really been very active. Maybe it's time to do some actual couchsurfing? Who knows?

Interests

I'm interested in (among other things) politics, science, computers, and craft beer.

Music, Movies, and Books

Book: The Mars trilogy by Kim Stanely Robinsson. In a span of over a hundred years, it tells the story of the colonization and terraforming of Mars, with all the political, geological, genetic consequences of that process.

Movie: 12 Angry Men. Amazing how much can be told in just a single room without special effects or anything, just a great script telling a story of a jury about to sentence a teenager to death were it not for one man with the conviction to examine the case more closely.

Music: Don't really have a single favorite artist or genre. I listen to most everything. But I do have a weakness for music with a political message.
