I spent 2017 and 2018 doing my own version of "the nomadic thing", jumping around to different places and jobs and living the Van Life for about half the time. I miss that lifestyle, but now I'm getting my engineering career started at my dream job, so the amount of time I spend in Interesting Places is a little less, but I'm still trying to live this new stage of life to the fullest.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

I am looking for community and connection. I love meeting people even more than I love traveling.

Интересы

Always down to explore nature or experience local culture. The best way to experience a place is to live there, but unfortunately I can't do that everywhere!

I've been a diver since 2011, and a saxophonist since 2004. I've been on a bit of a hiatus from music, but I'm finally picking my horn back up.

I learned to work with precious metals in 2017, and I learned to work with glass in 2018. I'm really into small-scale sculpture, and these mediums are great for it, they just require a lot of specialized equipment! I hope to be able to nurture these hobbies more soon.

Музыка, кино и книги

Songs that give me chills: Bottom of the River [Delta Rae], Numb and Getting Colder [Flume], Song for my Father [Horace Silver]

Books I got lost in: Good Omens [Terry Pratchett/Neil Gaiman], 1984 [George Orwell], the Weather Experiment [Peter Moore]

Movies are a lot harder to choose. I prefer live plays/musicals anyway.
