I live in Huanchaco, Peru. It is an amazing place that is similar to a black hole. People that come here have a hard time leaving. I can't count the number of times I have met people that told me they were staying for a couple days whom I end up seeing three weeks later still here. Most people I meet here end up staying much longer than they originally intend to stay.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to meet new people.

Music, Movies, and Books

Some of my favorite music includes The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Coldplay, Radiohead and pretty much any good pop music. I also like classical music if I am in the mood. I particularly like Glenn Gould. My favorite books include The Great Gatsby, Norwegian Wood, Moby Dick, Trainspotting and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. My two favorite movies are Pulp Fiction and It's a Wonderful Life, but I love a ton of movies. My pick for the best TV show of all-time is Breaking Bad, but I also love Seinfeld, Star Trek: Voyager, Mad Men, Downton Abbey, M*A*S*H and many more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I came to South America for a one-week vacation, and I ended up staying for more than three years.
