Semi-retired business owner working on a ew pet projects and new business ideas.

Passionate hedonist and perpetual traveler. I have a knack for classical piano as I've studied it since I was about 10 years old. My practicing was largely inconsistent the past 5 years but I really turned it around and want to push myself and technique as much as possible. I'm also a major foodie and will travel to a new country just for food alone. I love fostering deep connections and live for experiences that give just that.

Since I have a lot of free time, I'm usually at music concerts, events, new restaurants, or practicing piano to impress my black cat Daisy. I've recently gotten into astronomy so stargazing is something I'm enjoying more and more. I'm also a passionate advocate for psychedelics, especially in therapy. I enjoy exploring meditation and alternate consciousness.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Due to my unique situation, I'm left with a ton of spare time. Because of this, I don't have friends that have the means to travel. I'm often traveling alone which doesn't bother me, but I want to meet new friends and make connections with like minded people. There's so many experiences that I want to explore with others, so I'm hoping to meet people interested in this as well.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a diverse range of music taste. For going out, I love EDM, especially with music that has organic and electronic elements, with earthy tones. In general, I'm deeply passionate about classical music. I love horror movies, documentaries, and nonfiction.

I travelled to Iraq and Somalia, mostly by myself. Scary at times, but I don't regret it.
