Big fan of napping in parks, and reading by fireplaces.

Love walks, or meeting up for a beer.

Been working to start a robotics company for a few years.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To make new friends from other cultures and learn about their perspectives.

There's a spirit of communion with fellow couchsurfers. Some of my best travel memories have been with people from this site.

Interests

I enjoy reading, mushroom hunting, drinking craft beer, going to art exhibits, cooking, hiking, picnicking.

I also love pizza, maybe too much.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I like Jazz, and Blues, but I keep a list of recommended music from friends and strangers that I work my way through. Most of my listening is of podcasts or audio books, and I'm always looking for more to try out!

Origin of Species by Darwin

Absurdity.

I'm also a bit encyclopedic to a fault.
