About Me

I'm a laid back but spontaneous guy, trying to enjoy life by the day. I like meeting new people and having interesting conversations.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

While traveling I decided to look into this for the first time. Somehow the idea of staying with people native to the country you're traveling in seems interesting. Get to know more about their ways and get inside stories, while at the same time getting to know new people.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to a lot of music. Started off listening to punk, rock, metal but have grown to also enjoy electronic music, pop, classic, reggae and a lot of other stuff! Just some random names: Alkaline Trio, Foo Fighters, Offspring, Neelix, Pendulum, Jaya the Cat, Bob Marley, Limp Bizkit, As I Lay Dying, Michael Jackson, Queen, Interactive Noise,. and, so, on.

Movies I tend to watch are sci-fi, thriller, horror, comedy, action or just cool stuff. The Green Mile, Independence Day, the Silence of the Lambs, Jim Carey, the Green Butcher, Adam's Apples, Ice Age, Nicholas Cage, LOTR, the Matrix, the Ring, Avatar, Resident Evil, Event Horizon, etc.

Books I read have same genres as above. Currently reading Tom Clancy's "Net Force" series.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

First thing that comes to mind is playing a show with my band in a 500+ venue, sold out, as a support act for the headliner that night. The atmosphere was awesome and it was almost as if we ourselves were headlining. That was one crazy gig.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like conversations and discussions, subjects I find interesting are technology, cosmology, culture and world issues. But frankly, you can talk to me about almost anything.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Interesting debates, electrical/mechanical chores, making music (I play drums but I'm sure we can find something I can hit on if you've got a guitar, bass, piano, harmonica or something else to jam with).

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, Austria, Belgium, England, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Russian Federation, Scotland, Spain, United States
