I'm a Film-maker, Photographer, Musician, Writer, and Indie RPG Game Designer. Maybe I get bored easily but I tend to want to try everything, so I dabble in all sorts of art. I'm also an avid gamer and Cinephile, I pretty much spend all my free time playing all kinds of games (video games, board games, card games, story games, role playing games) and watching movies. I studied media / film theory and cinematography. I'm very easygoing and tend to be good at getting along with people of all types. I try to always be polite and be good to everyone. Sometimes I can be pretty shy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel every winter, heading south to visit family, and sometimes I'm looking for a place to stay with cool people. Also I live in a communal household and we tend to have space for people who need a place to stay.

Interests

My biggest interests are games and movies. I really spend a lot of time playing story games, indie role playing games with a focus on story and characters instead of strategy or combat. And I design them too. I play a lot of video games as well, sometimes I'm glued to my computer for days. I like all types of music, but I mostly listen to electronic music, or music with electronic parts, soundtracks, post rock, indie and alternative rock, classic rock... well all kinds of stuff. I also make electronic music. I watch a lot of horror movies even though I think most of them are bad, but they keep me awake and every once in a while I find something great. I really enjoy surreal films and horror I think is the genre that allows for the most surrealism. But I do love all kinds of movies, anything that has emotional depth and is able to tell it's story well without being too trite or cliche. When I read I prefer fiction and mostly fantasy or sci fi. I also read a lot of comic books.
